Why didn't you put up some links to used toilet paper instead?

Because it would have had more credibility than that embarrassing nonsense you posted.

They're actually rather open military spies. They also have diplomatic immunity, which is why no nation ever does very much about them, except occasionally expel the odd one to make a point. .

To say embassy based spies are 'open' would be inaccurate. They may be known to a host nations counter-intelligence agency. But to state that they are open is not accurate. The identity of a Station Chief will not be known to the public or the wider media. Stations Chiefs provide coordination and oversight of intelligence gathering in a host nation. Including CIA operatives within the embassy that a host nation will not know about. They are not there for a diplomatic party or two provide window dressing. You almost make it sound as if they a friendly, almost harmless necessity. Which of course is complete wrong.

Do you know where they can be bought or are they given out there?

Many of the 2 euro shops seem to have them.

I'm sure they're not there primarily for the host nation's interest. But the fact does remain that they are 'legal' spies, have diplomatic immunity, and the host nation can expel them. As a result, their activities cannot be held against the embassy.

Ah, blame the rape victim for wearing a short skirt argument.
Hamas kills children, but Israel are to blame anyway. Classy.

The only rapists are the Israelis, raping the Palestinians of their land and freedom,

No theft of Palestinian land and no imprisonment of 1.8 million people would go a long way to stopping the fireworks and building of tunnels,

How you can claim Israel is the victim defies all logic, but proves the effectiveness of the brainwashing.

And dozens of them died while building the tunnels.

And not just through accidents either, Hamas has been killing tunnel diggers to stop more of them from being discovered by IDF intelligence services. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183934#.U-mKf_ldV8E

the URLS give away that this is nothing short of bull****

Barcode Scanning App Used To Boycott Israel

http://news.sky.com/story/1317330/barcode-scanning-app-used-to-boycott-israel

More than 400,000 people are boycotting goods produced by Israeli-linked companies using a barcode scanning app.

Buycott allows users to identify the source of products instantly so that purchases do not conflict with their beliefs.

Chance The Rapper · 12-08-2014 03:58PM

Kleenex are a conflict for the Palestinian campaigns. I'll have to get a different brand so.

Or a girlfriend.

Love this part......

An Israeli army spokeswoman said a Palestinian motorboat in the area had "breached the naval military closure," and that Israeli naval soldiers "fired warning shots into the air."

Translated into...A Fisherman's boat threatened to breach our illegally enforced blockade earlier today. So we opened fire accordingly, in order to maintain our illegal blockade.

I supposed we can be only thankful they didn't target any 4-6 year old boys playing football on a nearby beach.

And yet, the double standards continue. Our esteemed leaders' complete lack of effort , for want of a better word, must mean they ALL have to not do or say anything bad about israel or there will be repercussions. Thats my take on it anyway. We regularly see sanctions imposed on countries for far lesser crimes and theres nothing of the sort here. We regularly see humanitarian aid being airlifted into places and theres posters and ads to "give generously for the poor starving kids" but theres nothing like that for poor Palestine.
I think its a load of crap and i also think we are more or less wasting our time complaining about this.
Something needs to be done to hurt those responsible and the best i have seen so far is to boycott israeli goods as much as possible. Our esteemed leaders havent the balls to do anything and all i see globally is pussyfooting around the issue for fear of offending the israelis. We need to cop on and call a spade a spade here.

Today I heard radio advertisements fron unifef, red cross and trocaire appealing for funds for gaza so that is not entirely correct

The protest was really positive. Great atmosphere and a nice crowd. Fair few cameras about so hopefully it'll get a bit of coverage

No offense to Ms Baker, but she does understand the concept of a blockade and the permissible responses to a break of it, right? Especially when they're warning shots, which they appear to have been.

So it's permissible to defend an unlawful blockade?....And the victim blaming continues.

Doing literally nothing is still better than that stupid hippy bullshít.
Hell, I guess when those that change their profile picture in Facebook to a Palestinian flag also let off a Chinese lantern then all is solved.

Awh man, the last time awareness helped a situation..when was that...oh yeah, never.

I'll do you a favour, make sure the Chinese lantern is lighting for a few minutes or it won't have enough heat to take off.
