TheRealNews: Racial Profiling Policies, Israeli Style

Published on 29 Aug 2017



No purity. We do it! They do it! Other countries do it! The targeted ethnicities vary from nation to nation, but it's really part and parcel of the same planet-sized mountain of bullshit.

In this particular case, I would suggest that we stop paying $3,000,000,000 per year so that Bibi may continue his aparthied.

If half this much was being done in any other country, we'd rescind all funding, boycott all lending, declare it a rogue state in abject violation of 28 UN Security Council resolutions, and act accordingly.

You are now on AIPAC's Watch List! I've been on it for nine years now: you see, I said at a party I attended in 2008 that I really liked the movie Signs, which of course featured Mel Gibson in the lead role.. The very nice AIPAC representative who showed up at my door the next morning told me that, had I made such a comment before Gibson's idiotic anti-Semitic rant to that Jewish cop had been made public, I'd have been fine. But since I had praised the film after that, the organization had no choice but to monitor my activities, both online and offline, from that point forward.

As I said, she was very cordial, and I understood why I was placed on the list.




















Now, for anyone humorless enough to require this,

If they're that touchy about it, I'm probably on it already since this is hardly the first time I've expressed misgivings over their abuses.

I consider myself supportive of Israel; but fair is fair. Nothing entitles anyone to invade Israel; but nothing entitles them to commit ethnic cleansing.

Such is the world.
