      The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.

      “We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,” Ma’ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events “swung American public opinion in our favor.”

        How are there not riots everywhere when a statement like this happens? Are we that desensitized, do we really collectively give this little of a shit?

        How far up our asses do we have to be before we realize we’re being fucked?

        Arm yourselves.
