Film footage from Palestine back in 1896 →
fuckyeahmarxismleninism: By Jalal Abukhater It is becoming a trend among influential GOP candidates to call out the Palestinian people as “invented” or even “non-existent”. First we had Republican candidate Newt Gingrich calling the Palestinians an “invented people”. Another rising star, Republican candidate Rick Santorum, has also said “There is no Palestine”. But I won’t really bother to give...

Violence?
Breaking windows is not violence.  Graffiti is not violence.  Bringing down capitalism brick by brick is not violence.  Shooting people is.  Teargassing veterans is.  Throwing rocks at cops is too.  With that said, I think the Black Block cats are selfish.  They co-opted a peaceful day and a movement that took a lot of work by very committed people, and stole the story.  The Occupy movement is...

All the names: Stanyon, Merritt, etc.  A beautiful place to run, hike, walk,...
