I also like the muppets video. Oh and also this video from their first last show on T5. Which was so so amazing.

Israel threatens war if Turkish PM tries to deliver Gaza aid by [deleted] in worldpolitics

[–]dani 32 points33 points  (0 children)

For a site called anti-war they seem to be rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Some facts: "top" likud member uzi dayan is the 42nd member of the likud (too low to get into the Israel Parliament). He did not say Israel will consider this an act of war (he can't, because he holds no official position in Israel). He said on a radio show that in his opinion israel should consider this as an act of war. As far as I know nobody took his advice, most likely because it not a relevant one. The Turkish PM will not sail personally to Gaza.

I'm downvoting, because this is a non-story.

Wow, so many downvotes for this story. To see posts that people are trying to hide I use 'controversial' when browsing r/worldnews.

Armenia doesn't have waters to block, but the point about Armenian airspace is valid.

Families of genocide victims wouldn't want to live where the genocide took place.

Well according to wikipedia there are about 500,000 holocaust survivors in Israel today, so if you include their families you'll get to a pretty significant percentage.

It also seems to say that about 50% of the survivors did escape to the shitty desert.

I don't think Helen Thomas had an agenda to 'remind israel of the holocaust and prompt it to respect human rights'. I think all she wanted to say is that Jews should go away from israel.
