Gaza

[fingertrouble]

Hmm, you might not read my Twitter where I've been discussing Gaza vs Israel amongst other things. It's tended to be where I park my more sharp political thoughts, things that cross my mind...and I've always thought that posting the absolutely fucking obvious to the converted here seemed a bit silly, I tend to keep things light here, apart from friends-only posts.

But for someone who (unlike me has a lot of friends who like Dr Who, I haz 1 post?)  was moaning about the previous post -

1) Gaza vs Israel is bad
2) Killing is bad
3) Firing rockets is bad
4) Being an oppressive regime - yup not so great
5) Hamas not having unity with Fatah - very bad
6) Alexei Sayle is cute. And right.
7) So is Bianca Jagger, she's not cute though
8) Did I say killing is bad, mmmkay?
9) Matt Smith is a shit Doctor  Who...oops how did that slip in here?
10) They need to talk rather than attack each other, and that's probably Israel's call
11) Britain fucked it up in the first place
12) It's as bad as Nothern Ireland and about as intractable, complex and fucked up. But they've sorted that out, so there is hope, but people do need to stop blockading and firing first.
13) People are bad
14) The world is bad
15) So they need crappy TV shows to blog about.

All a bit fucking obvious right? And as I don't work for the UN I can't answer 'how' to any of those questions, and would be pointless if I did because, I have no power in this. This is why I tend to keep it elsewhere...short and sweet.

Thank you.

So with all the violence and bombing and destruction from above, does that mean we will have more Eyeless In Gaza?

No but you might get a lot of Bomb the Bass and Massive Attack...and remixes of Killing An Arab :-P

But who will Rock the Casbah?

We might go to hell for talking like this, but I hear it's the party place, all the good boring people go elsewhere.

Well when we goto hell at least they might be playing Love and Rockets, or Magazine's Shot by Both Sides...;-)

Hell probably has all the best music anyway ;-)

True. I think that God's got a sick sense of humor and when I die I expect to find him leading a chorus of Rick Astley angels singing "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Or he sings Down Down Deeper and Down...

I'm sorry--I read the post by "someone" about how we should just throw ourselves in front of a bus because we're thinking about something other than Gaza.

I believe my LJ icon says it all to that poster.

Well you were the other Doctor Who postee in my FL ;-)

Yeah, I'm all set with Gaza right now. This situation's making my job miserable-just finished w/ the Thailand mess and now this BS. Everyone just needs a time out and to sit in the corner-or people are gonna get some serious wedgies.
