Israel Attacks Unarmed Humanitarian Ship in International Waters.

Fucking lol at the "weapons" overview.

Let's see:

-traditional knives
-kitchen knives
-tools
-more tools
-lead pipes
-bullet-resistant vests
-omg binoculars
-Holy shit, a slingshot with Hizbullah on it

Oh fuck, guys. I live next to a carpenter husband, a professional cook wife, their retired hunter grandpa and a juvenile delinquent son. I am hammering the 9 and 1 keys so hard right now. HELP ME!

I'd like to know where the video came from and how we know when the footage was taken.

Remember the part where they're strategically important?

The only reason most Americans support Israel is because its existence is a necessary part of the spell to summon Jesus. What you say might have merit, but I don't think that's what most people have in mind.

Assume I'm an idiot and explain how Israel is strategically important. Keep in mind their treatment of Palestinians and their undisclosed nuclear arsenal are massively destabilizing elements to the region.

okay I lol'd

take one israel, four eggs, a cup of sugar, two teaspoons of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg

Nah, man, the fastest way to summon Jesus is with Fist of Suns or Maelstrom Archangel.

Or you could just ask.

Oh I get it, you chose Jesus as your account name, so you think it's funny to behave like a retarded gimmick account. That's hilarious. You should do stand-up.

I was just going to say it was hilarious? Or, well, I would've used the word 'funny', since it's like, moderately more funny than deep, petulant sarcasm. We have, like, a total brain-link, Psy! BFFsies? I use the phrase 'retarded gimmick account' non-ironically lots too!

excuse you but clearly i am the only truly retarded gimmick account

This is generally what happens when you take a burst of full auto fire at close range.

I thought the fastest way to summon Jesus was to announce he'd won a free iPod.

Oh, wait. You mean the holy Jesus, not the kid at my school.

Seriously, what kind of retarded military continues to fast-rope when they see that the LZ isn't clear?

You missed that Israel has turned the Gaza strip into a concentration camp and is trying to completely eradicate any Palestinians in the area while holding onto illegally seized land.

You sure you want to go down this route?

The "terrorism" from Palestinians is the flailing of a dying man while he's being choked to death. Every so often one of his hands slaps his attacker, Israel, lightly in the face, which just enrages him and makes him choke Palestine harder.

Except those "light slaps in the face" involve suicide bombers blowing themselves up in civilian areas - along with any innocent, non-combative men, women, and children of whatever nationality, ethnicity, or religious belief who were minding their own business and just so happened to be near said suicide bomber.

The Israeli army in contrast always makes surgical strikes that never ever wind up hurting innocent people. Why even this blockade punishes only the terrorists and not the ordinary people who have to fucking live there, right?

It's a fair word to use when it's not hyperbole.

Ah, spoken like a true slave to conservative mass media.

The "choking" involves completely denying access to food, water, and medical supplies, the Israelis just walking in and gunning down people at random, mass eviction, building illegal settlements on illegally seized land, and a right-wing government in power whose stated goal is to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth.

Or did it somehow escape your notice that even very conservative estimates suggest nearly six times as many Palestinians die as Israelis do to armed conflict by the opposing side? Or that nearly twelve times as many Palestinian children have gotten blown the fuck up vs. Israeli children?

Never said that civilian casualties don't happen over there to the Palestinians, and of course I think they should be minimized. But that's not the same as a sucide bomber walking into a cafe or shopping center or street corner and blowing himself up. That's not a military strike against a military target at all... unless you (general you, here, not speaking to anyone specifically) consider every Jewish (or just random civilian who happens to be in the area, whether they're Jewish, Arabic, or someone of another nationality) man, woman, and child to be an appropriate military target.

Hahaha, says you. I actually dislike listening to conservative media and consider myself a libertarian on most issues.

So, do you deny that suicide bombing has the effect that I described, of indiscriminately killing innocent people, whoever they might be? It's terrorism, plain and simple. And terrorists do not get my respect. I don't care what their cause is.

I'd respect them if they were willing to go the route of Gandhi for their beliefs.

Funny... some folks say that about the state of Israel, or just Jews in general.

Then stop acting like the Israelis are fucking saints.

This blockade that's hurting the ordinary Palestinians living there, what's that? Are you saying collateral damage is acceptable? 'Cos you know, terrorists often decide that collateral damage is acceptable too.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
because you know if you agitate peacefully for civil rights nothing bad would ever happen
like soldiers OPENING FIRE ON CIVIL RIGHTS MARCHERS AND KILLING THEM

Once again you're pontificating about something you don't know a damn thing about. You don't know thing one about terrorism, what causes it, or why ordinary people would support it, so shut your mouth.

And what does that have to do with anything? Israel gets a free pass to do whatever the hell it pleases because of the Holocaust?

Edited several times to try to fix that fucking code. Still no luck.

That's different, the Irish are white.

Besides, it worked for, well, Ghandi, who was going up against a much less pleasant form of the British Empire. Of course, those tactics are only effective when the people you're using them on are unwilling to kill you in massive numbers, so it's sort of a toss-up in this particular case.

She was probably talking about more recent events, what with the numerous attempts by Israel's neighbors to "drive the Jews into the sea."

I think it's the parentheses.

The U.S. isn't condemning Israel's actions. And, because the U.S. has veto power in the United Nations, America is their "Get Out of Jail Free" card. So, Israel probably won't see harsh penalties and sanctions for the shit they just pulled.

Concentration Camp is a pretty apt term, hell, it was used rather loosely in regards to the rounding-up of the European Jewish population during World War II. It's my understanding that "concentration camp" implies a concentration of a particular ethic group in a particular place, Zyklon B optional.
