Is America the only country with, say, an Israeli embassy?

Are you tackling a cryptic crossword?

Been protesting much lately?

Well not taking the piss, as such. He lived for that stuff, didn't he? It's not for me or you, but I can respect it.

@luka idgi, what's funny?

This is a very common theme in stuff I've heard from people who are heavily involved in street protesting. There was a guy who used to post here a lot who could probably give us chapter and verse on this, but sadly he seems to have fucked off for good in the last couple of years.

Well the governor is up in arms about it, although I don't know what he can realistically do about it.

Well giving direct orders to NG units and fighting running street battles in LA looks fairly weighty to me, although of course I'm looking at it from the outside and perhaps this is a totally normal state of affairs for a functioning democracy.

It's the exact face your bumhole did.

The idea of Trump mocking anyone for anything to do with their weight is pretty funny. The guy is a lowkey comedy genius, undeniably.

Gus will probably start his own counter-riot to protest the rioters.

He'd get kicked out for being too fanatical.

The ones who started out killing unrepentant Nazis in West Germany and then went to Lebanon to train with Islamist militants who idolized Hitler...

OTOH, there are probably things you can criticise him for, too.

Well then you might have a point if the US were opposing that genocide, rather than supporting and enabling it to a far greater extent even than Germany is. Edit: and while there are obviously antisemites in Germany like there always have been, I don't think it's something you can accuse the...

You're really into this idea of hereditary sin, aren't you? If you found out one of your grandparents had been a Nazi collaborator, would you feel that that reflected badly on you, personally? Well yeah, some of them are. This is hardly controversial.

I know you despise Germany with all your heart and soul because they support Israel (edit: although apparently not enough to stop you living there), but you're ignoring the fact that not all Germans were Nazis. Just as there are Israelis who oppose their own government.
