... It is difficult to comprehend.
I quote from yesterday’s Australian:
A senior departmental official (said) the child involved was sexually abused at age seven and, as a safety measure, was put with various foster families, eventually ending up in 2005 with a non-indigenous family . . .
“These non-indigenous people were fantastic—ensuring she went to school, and the father actually took a year off his work to personally supervise this girl,” he said.
“But two new social workers were appointed to the north and they expressed the view, which was repeated many times to the investigating committee, that putting an indigenous child with white foster parents was another stolen generation . . .”
And so this girl was sent back to Aurukun, to be pack-raped again.
In the face of five years of Obama failure, the American Left still invokes the specter of George W. Bush as the all-purpose explanation for everything that has gone wrong. Yet the 43rd president is steadily climbing in public esteem, as his sunny disposition and serious demeanor toward the duties of office sit well in the public memory. So, too, his dignified behavior as ex-president brings credit.
One good way to force the Left to confront President Obama's own responsibility for his conduct in office is to compare his abuses of office with the record of President Bush, 43.
I just remembered why I left this forum.
I just remembered why I left this forum. Flaming idealogues who need to get their opinions from cartoons. Sweet holy fuck.
What have you done lately to help your fellow human beings?
Do you mean aside from my monthly financial support of little brown children to grow up and have more little brown babies, my financial support of democracy and freedom in the Middle East (IE, support of Israel), my support of fifo healthcare for Australians (regardless of their ethnicity) via RFDS ... and my every post to these forums ?
More than you simply by virtue of the fact that I've chosen to side with our Creator and His Kingdom.
If you aren't for Him then you are against Him and "fellow human beings" and thus you're not really helping at all but instead are part of the problem.
Next.

Cinematic Strings Of Jew Hatred – Musical BDS
Posted by: Brian of London in Brian of London February 19, 2014
UPDATE 14:50 19th Feb 2014: Cinematic Strings have backed down.
What happens when a talented Israeli musician (and Rabbi) tries to buy the following enticing music software from an Australian company:
"Cinematic Strings 2 is a completely redesigned and updated version of the original orchestral strings sample library. Whilst retaining the warm luscious tones produced in the world class Verbrugghen Hall of the Sydney Conservatorium, the new version features a sleek new interface and even smoother legato."
And more to the point, what happens when he asked for the educational discount the company advertises on it’s website:
"Supporting Students and Institutions Worldwide
We believe that the latest technology should be readily available to the education sector to facilitate learning and to keep training up-to-date and relevant to industry requirements. For this reason we offer a range of individual educational discounts to both teachers and students; we also have tailored packages available for universities and colleges that seek to incorporate a professional-level string library into their program."
Well, according to this blog post, he is turned down for the crime of being an Israeli and for his part (however small it may be) in the continued existence of Israel and the continued presence of Jews in Israel:
“Hi Yossela,
I am very, very sorry but I will not be able to provide you with a student discount. We support the BDS movement worldwide and the cultural boycott against Israel until Israel ceases its illegal settlement activities in the West Bank and ceases its discrimination against the Palestinian people. Please see this website for further information http://www.bdsmovement.net/activecamps/cultural-boycott.
Please understand that this is not in any way directed at you personally and we have heard from many Israeli students who have been very sympathetic towards the Palestinian people. However we are fairly powerless here in Australia to act on behalf of the victims of oppression and so the BDS is the only way we can have a voice.
We wish you all the best in your future musical endeavours.
Kindest regards,
Alex and the CS team.”
You can read the whole post but be aware that here at Israellycool we’re not big fans of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDSM) and when it’s an Australian company doing it, well, we take an extra interest. Remember, it’s quite possible that when Shurat Ha’Din’s latest legal action is completed in Australia, this email may constitute an actual crime.
Israellycool will be contacting Alex Wallbank and the CS team with some more questions about who they would and wouldn’t give a discount to:
An Israeli Jew living in Tel Aviv
An Israeli Arab (Muslim) living in Tel Aviv
An Israeli Arab (Christian) living in Tel Aviv
An Israeli Jew living in Gush Etzion
A Palestinian Arab (Muslim) living in Ramallah
A Palestinian Arab (Christian) living in Ramallah
I think it is important that we pin down the exact nature of their boycott and who it is directed against, don’t you.
It’s pretty clear these days that the BDSM has lost all possibility of credibility. It is denounced left and right: even the current Australian government in the form of the foreign minister, Julie Bishop, understands that targeting Israeli citizens for the actions of the Israeli government (even if you disagree politically with them) is just out and out Jew hatred.
In the meantime if you’re aware of competing products to Cinematic Strings 2 are, please let us know in the comments so we can suggest alternative software that isn’t produced by Jew haters.

Indonesia Announces World’s Largest Sanctuary for Manta Rays
Posted by Jane J. Lee in Ocean Views on February 21, 2014
One of the world’s largest fishes gets a super-size sanctuary thanks to a decision by the Indonesian government to ban fishing for manta rays within the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
...
The study authors found that the value of a single live manta ray in Yap (map) in the south Pacific—an area with arguably the longest established tourism industry for manta ray watching—was roughly $2 million over the animal’s lifetime. The price of a manta ray in fish markets in Sri Lanka and Indonesia ranged from $40 to $200.
“As the world’s largest archipelagic nation, it is important for Indonesia to maximize economic returns from our marine resources,” said Sharif Sutardjo, Indonesia’s minister of marine affairs and fisheries, in a statement.
Placing a monetary value on animals and ecosystem services is not a new concept in the conservation world. And it can certainly be a convincing argument for protecting a species, says Marshall.
...
it would appear that a manta ray is worth more than the life of an unborn child.
Does that seem fair and correct to you ?

Yes, when boycotts against south africa were in place they totally should have put in place a case by case, person by person process.
FUCKING IDIOT.
Israel is a rich western colonial country abusing people in the middle east. Of course they should be boycotted in the name of democracy and human rights. Their abuses and fundamentalist policies can only survice due to the support of western countries and so while our governments are unwilling to act, it's up to individuals. Western governments were unwilling to act at first against apartheid in south africa. They came around. It'll be the same with the apartheid in Israel.
