Welcome to Israel, may you give me your Macbook so we can shoot it?

Can't find a word for that sort of retardedness.
Strict secruity checks - OK. But destroying property by RANDOM? :noooo:

 

you're only getting a 25% of the story. they want you to think it was shot up for no reason, but there was anti-israeli rhetoric via stickers (why don't they show the top of the laptop???) on that laptop, as well as other stuff.

It's all speculation on both sides, but who cares.

 

I don't think shooting three bullets at it is a civilized and reasonable solution for any problem you could might have with a visitor's item.

 

The situation down there is as fuck-up as ever.

I say the problem with israelis is their population shifting from mostly agnostic or "regular" jews to orthodox and extremist ones.

The whole kibutz concept which pretty much turned israel from a refugee camp into a full country was created by socialist and atheist jews that jus wanted a home to live and not for religious purposes.

But now the country is full of the extremist ones, most of them from former soviet states. Some even arent jews at all, just said they were to get a free trip to israel and escape poverty.

Now you have a shitload of angry extremist jews and angry extremist muslims, what gives?

 

Not to mention slavery in Isreal exists...you're reqired BY LAW to join the millitary...

Somebody tell the idiot Zionists this isn't the BIBLICAL ISREAL

 

Dude lots of countries have the draft...

If you're looking fro slavery look no further than the UAE: thousands go to work there in construction jobs, but when they arrive their employeers destroy thier passports, all with the governments complicity.

So they're stuck there, and have to work for almost free just to stay alive.

 

True, but the visitor could have possibly presented themselves as a questionable individual.

When it comes to anything military, acting out of the ordinary will raise suspicion.

I read on slashdot that they missed the hard drive, so it's not a total lost.

 

I'm not saying Isreal is the only country that has a draft but to my knowledge they're the only one where everybody at some point has to serve their military unless I misunderstood and it was something like the first born in every family must serve or something.

I used to talk to somebody from Isreal who now is part of their millitary. When I aired my opinions on everything isreal and it's millitary (including their temper tantrum that almost leveled beruit a few years back) I almost ALMOST started an international incident.

Lets just say I won't EVER fly into or out of Isreal after that talk.

 

South Korea

 

On another view, jews (foreign ones) are banned from most arab countries, and getting a bible into saudi arabia will land you in jail.

 

hmmm I could not find other reasons why NOT to go to those places. But well, now I have them. Sad state what the world is in.

 

In Greece, too. My dad served 2 years and I ll have to do at least 9 months.

 

A little military didn't hurt no one... have some patriotism ;-)
