"Israel" can be seen as a companion piece to another classic anti-war anthem, Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind." Like that song, "Israel" asks questions about the nature of conflict and the human cost it exacts. But whereas "Blowin' in the Wind" is more abstract and philosophical, "Israel" is a raw and emotive reaction to the chaos and destruction that war brings.
Basically im 76ish...god said, I failed, and go on strike....
Furthermore the dancing became rather headbangin' dull wank...
I give up...
Give my superior a go now..
And even if its taken me 40 years to get beyong the horrid lippy and pasty face... and unhealthy lack of rosy cheek
I think there are few better examples of how complete lack of nuance and depth have nuclear depth charged the mind .. of almost everyone....
But even workin' class ordinary blokes back then hung on her every wink or double meaning...as we did understand words are subtle and to be played with...
Cos a song must be subtle and not tell you what to think, and lead you to think, rather than expend yer energy on preachin crap or chuckin bombs at the neighbour. ..
all i think is where did this perfect genius come from... it took years to even look at her in the face without getting the droop... real talent should terrify...
And... good old fashioned real dancin' at its best
just thank god for the camera and lil' ole tape recorder
But the snotteratti of today wouldn't get
The truly cultural moment...
The Queen of the pogo 'n ranty razor blade.. at the
Royal
Albert Hall
I mean ... the pinacle of history and liberty ...
The snotty little teapot manufacturing Farragismists. ..
were at last given one up their snout. She conquered their house of colonising gory glory
And then... 'twent....backwards.
message out predawn, to an Israeli with a great mind it seems ( but real reason to give up any even rare use of messaging i have typoitis, i can read through a message three times before sending and STILL after sending, if i repurpose and reuse it somewhere else i notice its got bloody typos in it make me look retarded i need a secretary ... ):
for info.
as i care about any internationalist peaceful mind.
They are rare.
i put a rare comment on a video i rarely do as 99% of people in the west went mad.
i am peace expert. ( and middle east ive lived in loadsa raghead places)
unfortunately ( for all Israelis) this man in the west represents the great majority of very ignorant hyped up commmentators. [ video below]
nobody can 'beat' their influence. ( among ordinary people) There are many like him in USA too. their image is saint but they ARE the problem ( no one critiques them but me) in short they fuel conflict as their influence is immense ( outside worldwide neocon rightist circles)
give up. sadly there is no hope for peace in israel or surrounds
( obviously the heinous 7oct crimes that started this are at the root, first)
my comment on the channel. ( i wrote first on 8 oct 24 my own website)
"viewing both speakers over the last year on and off, as with every one of many more i monitor, just more ' educated rap' to quote Dylan. Only one moment matters. 8 oct 2024 Israel announced to the world they intended to committ 'war crimes'... stating gaza will be starved.
The mattering moment: the world did NOT say " sanctions if you do", at which point the world and every supposed commentator we have ( you are, you arent journalists) should have said," Palestine [ i love all my adult life] lost ...persuade and help them to leave, as we did with millions of Ukrainians needing to flee... "
thats what you do if you are an actual ' humanitarian' ...all other commentary just became a weird self harming porn.. this channel the worst example"
PS it really is extraordinary.... conflicts of the 70s and 80s but especialy Sarajevo and Bosnia early 90s.... there WERE great wise anti war speakers.. IN ...the 'establishment'......
David Owen and many others.. Crossland etc.... wise enough to speak through the fog of war .. using self deprecation and real emotion... in genuine rhetoric.
( powered almost by GREAT journalism of Pilger,Gellhorn, and Hersch and a few others)
It is the ignorance.... total 100% ignoranvr and princessy posturing of ALL the media class that take us into ww2 1/2.. or even 3...
