Southern Ontario, this from a couple weeks ago, thinking a mid-October harvest; wind has taken its toll, some septoria and powdery mildew I'm just controlling a little. Bruce Banner, Quebec Blue and Chem Dawg though not sure which is which, lol.
...and back to reality.
Here is a picture of reality.
Its not a picture you or the other reality-challenged hasbara-peddlars can deal with: you seem to have trouble processing it. This is the third time I've posted it.
Maybe you think if you ignore it, it will cease to be reality. Kind of...
Why yes, Dorothy, there has been a war in there! More than one, if memory serves...I know Wikipedia aren't perfect but on an issue as contentious as this I think they're pretty careful.
"The newly formed United Nations recommended that Mandatory Palestine be split into three parts—a...
I'm impressed. Try as I might, I can't get that much jaw-dropping ignorance into a single sentence.
But you're hardly original:

It's an endorsement of the principle of 'might is right'. While its a seductively easy argument to make - when you happen to have the biggest stick - it is not a serious position.
From wikipedia:
"|In July 2009, Khaled Meshal, Hamas's Damascus-based political bureau chief, said the organization was willing to cooperate with "a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict which included a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders," provided that Palestinian refugees hold...
Ah, the ever-gracious UncleBuck! A breath of fresh air.
We hear an awful lot about this pernicious 'stated goal' but I think you'll find if you look into it that it has no basis in fact. I'd be interested if you could back that up. Unless you're referring to some earlier exchanges, say back in...
Rather than attempting to derail the discussion with irrelevant and childish arguments about 'zionist conspiracy' and the like, which ought to be beneath you - I don't have a shaved head, there is no Swastika tattoo on the back of it, in a few weeks I will join the massive anti-Nazi...
'This from the German.' Whoa, snappy comeback there! Couple of points: in the postwar period Germany has been a stalwart friend of the Israeli colonial project, supporting it with billions of euros. Feel free to research that. They have a bit of a guilt complex over the war. They should get over...
As a member of the IDF, I expect you to uncritically spew racist Israeli propaganda. Why am I not impressed?
As for the 'heavy price attached to every single civilian casualty', I invite you to view the video of the young American Rachel Corrie being run over by a bulldozer as she nonviolently...
More of this endless propaganda! Seriously, you have the internet in front of you - try backing up this garbage. You can't. If you want to gauge the true opinion of the Palestinians read the charter of the PA or Hamas. The latter refuses to 'recognize' the colonial state - they're understandably...
And here comes the hasbara spin! Like all the propaganda supporting the Israeli colonialists, this one - which I'm sure you've trotted out a thousand times - dissolves to nothing on close inspection, you should check your facts. Palestinian 'rockets' are little more than clumsy homemade...
Eh...four minutes in, he's not far off the mark at all, IMHO. It's Iran's misfortune that they have all this oil under their ground. So control of their resource, as new superpowers appear on the horizon, makes a lot of sense. So naturally the west, the States in partick, try to fuck them up any...
Israel's warcrimes in the 2009 operation 'Cast Lead' were widely documented by various international humanitarian organizations. The entire operation was essentially a war crime, as the fourth most powerful army in the world attacked a couple of million malnourished civilians trapped behind an...
There's no anti-Americanism there, quite the opposite these days: an ongoing curiosity about all things 'western' since Poland is still coming out of the Soviet era. I live in east Germany not so far from the Polish border and visited Auschwitz a couple of summers ago, with a New York Jewish...
