powerful conservative images

yom hazikaron today -- memorial days are kinda non-partisan no?

The military-oriented aspect of Israel's culture is pretty conservative. Not that it's entirely without reason, but the image still fits the thread imo.

I mean, Israel can more legitimately claim that soldiers in the six day war "died for your freedom" or whatever than America regarding soldiers in Iraq, but still

idk, would a similar painting of US soldiers fighting in WW2 to protect "your freedom" be conservative? maybe it would!

kinda

on one hand i do understand that but i can't help but feel like making the violence that constructs society explicit is radical too - which is maybe why memorial day in the US is basically invisible?

ya i guess you could read that image in the totally opposite way too, good point

though i'd like to see some workers/oppressed ppl in there too

I sort of regret posting that one having not immediately realized it was yom hazikaron. This is an interesting topic though.

Nice ass on the silver Jew in the dress.

that ass don't come for free

kinda has a Mad Fold-In qual

the text is something about how "thousands died for this" and when you fold it it's a picture of a pita sandwich with shawarma

i've seen that pic before. i don't know its origin but i reaaaally don't think its creator had defense of israel in mind

Why are you slandering the brave soldiers who defended Israel during World War I?

Actually Israeli soldiers did wear helmets like that during the 1948 independence war. I assumed it was the beach in tel aviv. Although the choice of a blonde woman would be unusual.

well like i said i don't know where it came from.

how i ran into it before detailed here:

why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

there are spots on the coast where you look north toward yafo that look sort of like that, all though the style of building in that picture is not what's there today (taller more modern buildings). The architecture plus lack of any specific jewish/israeli signifiers makes me think you're probably right.

reverse img search is inconclusive

huge link

I used a few other words to image search it ("Artist", "Originally painted") and let me tell you, adding captions to that picture only makes it even more annoying.

ok let's fire this rock into the sun already, we're done here

i like that no matter how many times the gop grownups emphasize 'look, nobody even think the word rape nevermind actually say something about it cuz we always fuck it up' the grass roots always responds w/ 'i'm sorry but'

that works if you consider the rights of a clump of cells to be more important than a living, breathing woman

"clump of cells, full grown woman. clump of cells, full grown woman. i'm gonna go with the clump here."

Slavery was endorsed morally by those who saw it sanctioned in the Bible, the White man doing his duty to tame the witchdoctor and teach him the Words of Christ.

any given moral is the equivalent of any and all other morals by the simple fact of its adoption as a moral. i am vehemently opposed to banjos, on moral grounds; when will the federal government do something? i didn't not vote just for the children i don't have to hear mumford and sons on the goddamn radio i don't own before 9pm.

biblically-approved abortions are so low in numbers these days

Back then, they used to just chop 'em in half.

i thought they were called murders not platoons

'commander and chief'

damn image macro makers, even the australians know what the phrase is

c-130 is a transport iirc

I'm also not really sure what a gunship would have done in the situation

nm I assume they mean this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AC-130

I am dumb for thinking "gunship" meant boat

They should've flown a C-130 over the platoon of terrorists and dropped tanks on top of their heads.
