Civil Disobedience

I'm sitting here watching CNNj's coverage of the Gaza situation. It's disturbing, but at the same time, a little bit like watching MTV Spring Break. The protesters are up on the roof of a synagogue trying to prevent the Israeli police from removing them physically from the place. They all look about 12 years old. And they have a seemingly endless supply of paintballs and watery blue slop that they are hurling at the cops.

Uh, oh. Now a bunch of cops are running out of the synagogue in their underwear. The watery blue stuff must have some kind of chemical in it. They are being doused with water.

OK, they look fine. (I mean, not fine, but not hurt. Get your minds out of the gutter.)
