RIOT!

I guess I learned my lesson yesterday; you don’t fuck with hardcore oppositional people and don’t get mixed up in riots… Taking pictures of the demonstration not far from the the Israeli embassy, the riot suddenly escalated, and I was caught in the middle of the violence, Molotov cocktails, Fireworks, people throwing bricks, military police… but the worst was the tear gas. My eyes are still running, and my throat feels like I swallowed a pound of pepper. Hundreds of people were arrested…

It’s sad to see that people’s frustration against Israel has escalated to violence, so far from where the real conflict really is. The sad part is that half the people in this riot weren’t there to protest against Israel, but just angry teens with various ethnic and religious background that want to be in the middle of the action when all hell breaks loose. Disillusioned youth, who have finally found a way to let out the steam and frustration from comfortable Norway.



Reading this book now, super interesting. The Israel Lobby and U.S foreign Policy…. Worth to check out if you want to know more about lobbyist, power games, and the U.S governametal administration and organization.
