battle-studies: thepalestineyoudontknow: The golden Dome of the Rock is seen in the background as Palestinian father of six, Azzam Afifi, uses a sledge hammer to destroy his own home in Jerusalem’s Old City on May 23, 2012, as he carries out an Israeli court order which ruled that the house was built without a municipality permit. Many Palestinians end up demolishing their homes themselves to avoid the high cost of paying for Israeli government bulldozers, or go to prison for not being able to pay.

If you speak in an angry way about what has happened to our people and what is happening to our people, what does he call it? Emotionalism. Pick up on that. Here the man has got a rope around his neck and because he screams, you know, the cracker that’s putting the rope around his neck accuses him of being emotional. [Laughter] You’re supposed to have the rope around your neck and holler politely, you know. You’re supposed to watch your diction, not shout and wake other people up— this is how you’re supposed to holler. You’re supposed to be respectable and responsible when you holler against what they’re doing to you.

leptiir: picturesofwar: “An elderly Sri Lankan Tamil sits among the rubble of a village near Puthukkudiyiruppu on April 24, 2009.” (PEDRO UGARTE/AFP/Getty Images) It’s very sad how the Tamil minority is totally ignored by the media, the only attention they get is when the LTTE does something wrong. Many Tamil civillians have been killed in fact.

Well, that’s pretty much what the schools are like, I think: they reward discipline and obedience, and they punish independence of mind. If you happen to be a little innovative, or maybe you forgot to come to school one day because you were reading a book or something, that’s a tragedy, that’s a crime-because you’re not supposed to think, you’re supposed to obey, and just proceed through the material in whatever way they require.

What would happen if the US citizens took this as an example. This is a summary of the facts: 2008. The main bank of the country is nationalized.

The citizens protest in front of parliament and manage to get new elections that make the resignation of the prime minister and his whole government. The country is in bad economic situation.

In Iceland, the people has made the government resign, the primary banks have been nationalized, it was decided to not pay the debt that these created with Great Britain and Holland due to their bad financial politics and a public assembly has been created to rewrite the constitution.

And all of this in a peaceful way. A whole revolution against the powers that have created the current global crisis. This is why there hasn’t been any publicity during the last two years: What would happen if the rest of the EU citizens took this as an example? What would happen if the US citizens took this as an example.

This is a summary of the facts:

2008. The main bank of the country is nationalized.
The Krona, the currency of Iceland devaluates and the stock market stops. The country is in bankruptcy

2008. The citizens protest in front of parliament and manage to get new elections that make the resignation of the prime minister and his whole government.
The country is in bad economic situation.
A law proposes paying back the debt to Great Britain and Holland through the payment of 3,500 million euros, which will be paid by the people of Iceland monthly during the next 15 years, with a 5.5% interest.

The thing that people seem to misunderstand is that the kindness and tolerance, or even acceptance that a few Christians may have does not change the fact that homophobia is deeply integrated into Christianity. Having personal prejudices is harmful, but systematic oppression at the hands of a largely Christian government is downright unacceptable. It is this fact that allows you, me or anyone to point out the flaws in such a system. In America, to be Christian is to be an enabler of homophobia.
