It’s not really that easy, is it? It looks like something an Israeli right wing party would have done, but then again, the purpose looked – to me – akin to what the average left wing politician would have had in mind. Usually I’d be thinking somebody’s finally making sense up there, but the truth is more like… that they just can’t decide what the hell they want to accomplish and how.

Say they bombed 95% of Hamas’ military facilities. That’s all great except that in reality all it takes is just one Hamas official alive to get up and say “by the way, I’m still around” and rebuild that whole damn thing up again. Simply because there are enough Palestinians who are absolutely sure that this is the right thing to do.

Alright then, let’s say some “genius” down in Jerusalem had this bright idea one morning: we can nuke the shit out of them. So long story short, nuke gaza area, everyone’s dead. Let’s assume we’re in a universe where something like that will just kill anyone who identifies themselves as a Palestinian and will leave minimal mess to clean up (nukes aren’t exactly safe).

I do believe that’s called genocide.

So bomb anything you like, as long as not everything there is dead, finished, done – you still have the Palestinians to deal with.

So before I get angry emails, please read all the way to the end. Look, people, what I’m saying is that there’s nothing anyone can do to prevent a Palestinian state and Israel’s future interaction with it. Meanwhile, I don’t think there’s much that can be done to prevent the continued existence of Israel in the future. Though I hope it will finally change its own definition of itself as a nation from “a Jewish nation” to something that actually allows for (gasp!) a multitude of religious and ethnic groups being in the same country and not necessarily kicking the shit out of each other just because.

So learn to deal with each other, is all I’m saying and will say about it.

(;_; I can’t believe I posted about this bullshit.)

Anyway, my point is, it takes skill and understanding to get it right. The key to being diplomatic? Agree with everyone. Don’t express opinions unless you’re asked for one, and then just say you accept everything, but this is “just you.”

We all have ideas, we’re all radical in our own way (yes we are), the only question is how well we know to express it. This is especially important in a tiny little community, e.g. forums.

My suggestion: less is more. Nobody likes you if you have an opinion about everything, even if you’re right and say what they all think is true, you’ll always see more opposition than support – not because that’s the way it is, just because that’s the way of nature – social nature.I’ll quit internet forums at some point, just not now, just hold on there.

He does legally hold two nationalities, and yet neither of them is in fact related to his current position on earth, or maybe just by a broad definition – “European.”

He makes attempts to learn the local language and fit in, presents himself as a local, or a “citizen of the world”, but hits the same brick wall – he does not fit exactly, but merely some of the time. He may hold two passports, but not want to have much with one nationality, and being very distant from the other.

His previous experiences in life, the language which he had acquired mean absolutely nothing in his current surroundings – a recently planted tree, significantly smaller than the rest in the forest. Will he ever bear fruits or repay society? That’s most certainly his plan, whether or not

Thanks to involuntary military service, a large Jewish orthodox sector, extreme weather, lack of respect for the environment and the beaurocracy’s helplessness facing these issues – I decided to take the plunge and be this proletariat drifter scum.

Luckily, I managed to get a hold of a German passport. Since Denmark is in the EU, I’m pretty much set. I am able to receive free tuition and even subsidy. Arrangements are being made, and the day slowly nears that I will come back, in 2009, or maybe even late 2008 and become a proletariat drifter scum.

To be honest, my life as a proletariat drifter scum can’t possibly be worse than my life as a local would have been in Israel. It’s just not going to work with me and Israel, we’re too different. Too different, and indeed, we must therefor break up, peacefully and quietly.

Socialism is definitely the way to go. Israel isn’t really my thing. The issue’s pretty much solved.

So that’s it, I’ll be living the next few years in Denmark, that’s for certain – most likely even the next few decades. And me, I couldn’t get any happier. I’m not alone as I am now, and knowing Danish (properly at least) would be even better.

May 2008, I finish IB. August 2008, I’m going to fight for my freedom in the battle against the involuntary military service in Israel. Then later in 2008, or even at late as 2009, back to Denmark.

So I won’t have the right to vote, like anybody cares. So long, Israel.

Early in the morning, during a class with marginal importance, my phone rings. Or actually, vibrates. Message. “The police is taking over the house.” – “Your house?” – “No. Ungdomshuset.”

Didn’t sound like much, obviously. I’m used to that person, whom I shall refer to as Violet. I’m used to Violet doing weird things, potentially risking her life, and yet cringe to the sight of gore in action movies. She’s quite a feminist though, and as a matter of principle likes to cross the line of gender differentiation on a regular basis, thus committing violent and potentially destructive acts could also stem from that; as well as genuine political interest.

At around 7 o’clock, I look at my phone. New mesage, “the police just threw tear gas.” If I wasn’t worried just yet, the time pretty much came at that point. I replied, and waited patiently.

In the meantime, I became restless and worried. At some point I considered paying a visit to Nørrebro, but quickly dropped the idea. It’s not a matter of life and death, my preserce wouldn’t change much, I don’t want to impose my own ideas on anyone – it’s better to stay at home.

The caffeine buzz sure didn’t help me calm down. I waited and waited. After sniffing around, I tried to calm myself down by trying to figure out whether there had been any casualties. So far so good, nothing. Though reportedly, people were injured – no good.

Eventually, I sent her a message, to which she replied within a few minutes. Everything was fine. Got chased around by the police, sprayed with tear gas, etc. Wouldn’t it be better to just quietly disperse? Maybe if things got that bad, perhaps violent conflict wasn’t the answer?

Violent conflict is rarely the answer. Which is what the layman simply does not understand, or does not internalize maybe.

I hope they’re all having fun down there at least, because otherwise it’s mostly futile.

I was however displeased with people wrongly labelling the riots as “anarchists.” Opposing the shut down of a community lot has got nothing to do with not wanting a governing force. If anything, it’s probably the other way aronud. It made no sense to shut the place down, especially with so much resistance. At the same time, I don’t believe violence is justified. Et cetera.

Well, I’ll get busy shooting random civilians and spraying them with tear gas, potentially arresting them.

Back in the days of the cold war “commie”, “red”, “communist”, “soviet” and other similar nouns, adjectives and adverbs were used to define just about anything bad. The US government liked the term “communism” a lot, and was pretty much against anything even remotely ressambling communism.

Now there’s “terrorism”. It’s basically a term used to describe any sort of action that involves attacking you, pretty much. Not to say that it’s not an issue – it is, only it’s taken for more than what it really is among the public.

What do I mean by that? Well, I will allude to Bush’s “War against terrorism.” Wars are fought against countries, organisations and such, not against tactics. Terrorism isn’t centrelized. There’s no global terror comitee (non which I know of). It’s been used so much by the press that it became devoid.

Murder is not justified, even in the form of war. Especially when you’re targetting innocent civilians or vague concepts. How long will it take until the word “terrorist” would be used as a swear?

Anyway. Kawaii seems to be taking over. I’ve been to Israel last month and they have an Anime channel in there, and of course Pokémon (but that’s pretty standard). My idea was to replace different authority figures with nice smiley Kawaii figures. Koizumi is a good start, of course. Taking a look at his website, there’s a link on the right to an “E-mail magazine”. What’s going on here? Is Koizumi trying to make himself something like a pop figure? Hello Kitty style. Hello Koizumi. And there we have it. Kawaii politics.

I would personally feel much more guilty, from a dictator point of view, to bomb something if their leaders are so kawaii.
