Israel is a fascist, ethno-supremacist state that wants to expand the borders of "Greater Israel" through incredible violence. Now why does that sound familiar :hmm:

Greater Israel isn’t just Biblical delusion, it’s Zionism’s DNA

Part Biblical myth part Zionist delusion, the idea of a belligerent Greater Israel is the Zionist strategy, and also its last lifeline, writes Emad Moussa.

got lucky I guess, Had a phone clip from Oahu 20 years ago, filmed a pair getting busy on the beach, sounded like a human couple with deep voices goin hot and heavy!
was taken on a motorola Razor so shitty vid.

I would love to see that clip. How sure are you that you were watching marine turtles? I know a bit about their anatomy and how they mate. I don't see how it would be possible.

Marine turtles don't vocalize, since they have no vocal cords. On land, they do sometimes make a hissing or grunting sound when they exhale. It's not loud.

I like it, but I don't know how much this will make any difference right now. My kids are of the current young voting age and they don't want to engage at all with politics. The right are shit scared of it, and I like that, but I do think it's misplaced fear, although the political landscape is getting closer and closer with less and less majority in our elections, despite labours trouncing of the conservatives a year ago.
