Israeli society is one of the few where the youth are often more intensely racist than the older generations -- which says a lot.

Mike: It's great that you have posted this in the manner you have and taken this line on this news story. This is the only correct line for revolutionaries in regards to this story and needs to be propagated within the anti-Zionist movement around the world as well as within the Jewish and Palestinian working class throughout the world.

Hunger of power showing off, be it feminine or men chauvinistic are not way different although they are worded out and played out differently.

In a business, a store, restaurant, be it a Garcon (French for waiter) or a waitress, they serve...

a soldier serves as well, but not necessarily to the prisoners of war. Being best part of her life on a mandatory service?

Least fair thing nonetheless we have to agree though is, her attitude is not as plain beasty attitude of the american soldier woman who was not way far from the S & M commercials attitude.

And, people's understanding of photography is so intetwined into the youth's culture as if it is vital thing to show off. Market rules the people's brain. In places you see family of five with five camerss... I may be merely staying facts but, what is there to be done? Same main questions that here are hopefully trying to find a rational and suitable answer, for this particular soil and culture.

Before the phony elections in Iraq and the elections to the Palestinian Authority (effectively annulled by Israel), the Israelis always liked to boast that their country was the only democracy in the Middle East (ignoring Lebanon for reasons that were never quite clear).

Looking at the pictures posted here we can coin a popular phrase -'This is what democracy looks like.'

So-called democracy is simply a facade behind which the reactionaries and imperialists exercise their dictatorship. For example compare the unofficially taken pictures of the sexual abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib with the officially taken pictures released in 2002 of the humiliation of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. For all the talk of western democratic values, these pictures make you realise that democracy is a dream, it exists nowhere in the world.
