Whats the context on this? Also I want to know if he ruined the magazine.
About 200 ISM activists were stopped from entering a highway by ISF, and then blocked the highway for about an hour before escalating the situation by trying to force their way past the soldiers with the obvious & inevitable results.

No word on if the ISM activist was able to help the soldier properly seat his magazine or not.

April, 2012

On April 14, a group of at least 200 pro-Palestinian activists were traveling on bicycles, and several buses in a silent protest. They were stopped by Israeli soldiers before entering onto Highway 90, and asked not to continue for their own safety. The legality of the protesters action is unclear as some news agencies state the cyclists got permission to protest but others state no permit was given. During the ensuing hour, the activists refused and blocked an entrance to a highway, a "scuffle" broke out. In an interview given by one of the members he stated "בשלב מסויים החלטנו לאתגר את החיילים ולנסות להמשיך בנסיעה" ("... at some point we decided to test the soldiers and continue to move") and after a few moments they had been assaulted. In an interview for JPost "After about half-an-hour, he said, the cyclists decided to push past the IDF, and that is when the violence began." Four activists sustained face and back injuries and had to be evacuated to a hospital in Jericho, West Bank. The next day, ISM posted a video showing an IDF officer hitting a Danish protester in the face with his assault rifle. The IDF officer said that he was attacked by one of the activists in the incident with a stick, breaking two fingers. The IDF said it was a "grave incident" and was suspending the officer and investigating the incident. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, and IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz all condemned the incident. NGO Monitor said that ISM "has a long record of encouraging activists to take ‘direct action’ that often places them in danger and in direct confrontations with the IDF."

His magazine wasn't fully seated so that dude offered his face to be used as part of the immediate action drill.

That's a new and creative perspective with the S in SPORTS meaning smash the magazine baseplate into a protester's face. :stare:

SF always had a bunch of random dirtbikes and quadrunners they kept around, nothing like that though. We even fixed two broken dirtbikes that belonged to one team we worked with and they said we could keep them since we got them running. I really wanted to let my weapons squad use them on long dismounted missions.

Never seen an actual, legit US Army dirtbike though. The idea of fielding actual dirtbike platoons sounds like a genuinely good idea to me though.

We had some tiny 50/80cc models. We got a new shipment that came in 2 large new boxes so they thought they got 2 125cc models like the Air Force STS uses. They broke open the two big boxes to find that each had two smaller boxes in them with a tiny model in them. I heard they ended up damaging one of them on the first day by jumping it off of stuff at the airfield.

Israeli's to a piece of nothingness lovely land in the desert and made something amazing. The Palestinians couldn't have given a gently caress before they thought they could have gotten something out of it. So many "Palestinians" live quite happily in Israel. I don't really see the point you're getting at. Shim might be able to back me up here but as jews we believe in an eye for an eye. In conclusion, gently caress the former nation of Palestine in it's rear end.

And then tell them it's okay, if you bring it back, we'll give you a refund. Except, when they try and sail it back we dress up in poor Syrian disguises and blow it to hell. Then we deny that it ever happened and it was us for like 30 years.

Also, the CIA should "accidentally" kill a few Mossad agents every now and then.

I hate Israelis and Palestenians quite equally

You been home to the land of our fathers? You seriously couldn't pay me enough to live there.. the Economy is terrible, it's incredibly militant, there are jews everywhere (Seriously, do you really want to live in a majority jewish area? I don't.) and the entire culture is just... ughhhhhhhhh.

There is nothing worthwhile about that lovely little plot of land on the west side of the middle east, our species left that area for a reason, and I have yet to see anything worthwhile to drag this descendants rear end back there for anything more than the occasional war or MAYBE an awesome purim

Yeah I've been and hung out with my family out there. My family are like the least Jewy jews though. It's just traditional poo poo for us to be honest, my first night in the homeland was spent grilling pork on the porch drinking and playing with guns since my cousin is in the IDF.

If the CIA tried this they would end up assassinating a Chinese agent, followed by getting their entire team killed.

Either that or they'd try to do it with a Pred and blow up half of Tel Aviv.

My grandparents are traditional European Jews who stubbornly refuse to follow basic societal rules (more the Euro than the Jewish part) so when they went to Israel they kept parking in no parking zones and the Israelis would have that poo poo on a truck heading to an impound yard in the middle of the desert within minutes. Car must've been towed at least three times. My grandparents insist this was not their fault and Israelis are assholes.

My sister also spent a few weeks there and complained it was "too Jewish". I still want to go sometime if I get a chance before Iran nukes it.

Yeah.. see, you can't say it's traditional stuff and then grill pork my man. The only thing we jews have is our traditions, and eating pig pretty much shits on the face of that idea.

So I mean, beyond that it's a genealogical trace back to a really lovely region with all the above mentioned problems.

Or a genealogical trace back to a really lovely religion with all the above mentioned problems.

Either way, it sucks.

My point being, you could grill pork and play with guns on all kinds of better beach's anywhere in the world, and not have to deal with being in Israel of all places.

I'm pretty confused by your whole gently caress Palestinians but watch me eat pig in Israel stance. So you don't hate them for being not jewish obviously, that's good.. but I guess you hate them for making GBS threads up the homeland? Well I got bad news for you friend, the homeland is and always was absolute poo poo, the muslims at least brought math and science to it.
