My heart goes out to the heroes raided by the FBI in Minneapolis. Please don't be flippant about these charges. Among those charged, Emmett Doyle has a public career as a radical historian and folksinger and you should listen to his work: soundcloud.com/edrootsmusic

The #Israel -i army bulldozed a mosque in Sour/Tyre, #Lebanon. They are the ones filming this. They just destroy everything in sight and do not care for anything of value, neither human nor cultural. And they keep on doing this. They keep on destroying and destroying and destroying.
