Iran Feature: Muffling the Drumbeats of War?...
lissnup:
We have been following the news and analysis heralding a military attack on Iran over its nuclear programme, and more recently, we have noted the media coverage —- following an Obama Administration “red line” against a strike —- hitting back at any launch of conflict. Now an episode which brings both sides of the political and propaganda struggle together. On Wednesday, journalist Mark...

The UN, 1947: Hey Israel, you guys should totally exist and stuff, that'd be a great idea! In fact, we now declare that you have the right to split Palestine, so you can have your own nation - as soon as the British go away! Resolution 181, there you go bro, told you we got your back!
Israel, 1948: Word up to ma homies at the UN! We run this shit now!
...
The UN, years later: dude you should totally chill with this whole settlement stuff, you're making us look bad
The UN: dude discriminatory practices against the Palestinians ain't right man sort that shit out
Israel: LOL what's a Palestine
The UN: this wasn't in the deal man, we still got your back, but you should seriously just leave them Palestinians alone man, we can't defend/ignore you forever people are getting sus
The UN: seriously bro, I mean we can pretend to care for a few decades and stuff and turn a blind eye really - but you need to stop making us look like dicks, at least keep that settlement/colonialism/apartheid shit quiet
Israel: lol no
The UN: dude we can only stall for so long, you should really stop those settlements on Palestinian lands, end the collective punishment of Gaza and talk to them dudes in Palestine and sort out your 2 state future - the state of affairs in the Palestinian lands is looking pretty grim these days and we don't know how long we can keep the rest of the world quiet about it
Israel: terrorists blah blah judea and samaria blah blah terrorism and rockets blah hamas blah blah anti-semitism blah blah blah right to defend ourselves blah blah
The UN: no really dude, im so sorry about this, but like, we're totally going to have to do some sort of symbolic gesture 'cos people in the world are getting bare mad yo... i'm thinking something like allowing Palestine into UNESCO - but don't worry not the UN overall, the US will make sure they can't bother you in that forum with their veto and stuff!
Palestine, at UNESCO: sup guise!
Israel: the fuck man this wasn't part of the deal *rings up USA* CUT YOUR UNESCO FUNDING BITCH
USA: ..but this would go against our own interests...
Israel: I SAID CUT YOUR FUNDING
USA: .... ok :'(
The UN: also man sorry to do this to you, but we're going to have to look into that Israeli-only housing and roads, and questionable policing and roadblocks and stuff, you got going on in the Palestinian West Bank - don't worry though, we won't follow our mock tears in a report with any real actions! we just gotta look like we're doing something to keep the world quiet you get me man? still got your back bro
Israel, 2012: omg what's this 'human rights' fuckery, why are you trying to investigate this shit bro, not cool! HYPOCRITES! THE UN IS BIASED AGAINST US!!!! *stops co-operating with UN inquiries that might make it look bad*
The UN: ....

Holy shit! This is much worse than the January floods over there. The worst hit is Nadi, Ba and Rakiraki. (where most of my mum’s family reside) 1 has died and 5 is missing. It’s bad enough that the bridge that leads to Nadi Town is destroyed because of it. Now my relatives is stuck!
I was hoping that this year I’ll let it go...

socialismartnature:
Central Florida leftists insist something new is happening here since Trayvon Martin’s killing. In the era of Occupy and global resistance, small towns draped in Spanish moss are now home to budding activists raising their fists to demand justice for Trayvon.
Where this will go from here I have no idea, but one thing is certain: There are Floridians who say they’re forever...

Unarmed Black Veteran Kenneth Chamberlain Shot... →
As the Trayvon Martin case draws national attention, we look at another fatal shooting of an unarmed African-American male that has received far less scrutiny. Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., a 68 year-old African-American Marine veteran, was fatally shot in November by White Plains, NY, police who responded to a false alarm from his medical alert pendant. The officers hurled racial slurs at...
