Today's Middle East Shit

The pic below shows Hamas rockets (on the right) being defended against by the Israeli Iron Dome anti-missile system, and is being pimped as an "iconic photo" of the current blowup between Palestinians and Israelis - that it's as beautiful as it is horrific - or it's as horrific as it is beautiful - or some such nonsense.

There's nothing beautiful about anything horrific. If you actually believe there is, then you need to be shaken &/or beaten like a dirty rug. You need to go and see the result of this madness - the damage and the death - on the ground and in the light of day.

And then you can go check your fucking values.

We can't allow this hagiographic romanticizing bullshit to continue.
