...after their posting of a petition by the racist Free Palestine movement (which you admitted is racist) that you'd perhaps have 2nd thoughts about posting from that vile rat's nest. . Guess not.

Video is obviously a setup from start to finish. Transparent goading of the officers. From this story, I gather that the activists want the IDF to relax their guard, let anyone in because no one's a risk at all, and therefore risk the security of Israeli citizens because the lives of Israelis is nothing in comparison to inconveniencing Palestinians. Am I right? Isn't that the point? I mean, besides making Israeli security officers look like Nazis....

What do you think about the history of melon bombs in Israel? Are you for or against them in the name of resistance?

I think it's good to have a wide range of sources on DU - even Mondoweiss. Little Tich Jun 2016 #15

If you're against posting hate speech, Mondoweiss did just that with Paul Larudee's letter. n/t shira Jun 2016 #16

You mean this letter? Little Tich Jun 2016 #18

"While I can't really explain why such a letter appeared on Mondoweiss..." shira Jun 2016 #20
