I read somewhere that the Israelis routinely warn the Palestinians when they're going to be dropping bombs in civilian areas, to minimize civilian casualties. 1

Before I answer, I'll ask you if you would hold the same opinion if the yellow vests were Antifa?

I am also fairly certain they have been "infiltrated" by paid agitators. Who is funding those agitators? Welllll I have an opinion *adjusts aluminum foil chapeau* Do I believe that paid agitators enjoy the same benevolence as grassroots protestors? If they are peaceable, certainly. If they are not, no. I firmly believe people should have a right to protest peaceably. In my opinion, it is a tenant of "free speech" (the French have freedom of expression but things are getting worse, not better over there - you are probably not aware of this, but my MIL and BIL were French citizens before becoming American citizens. Hubby has loads of relatives there, and we get to fly into Nice later this year... where this protest took place. While we are not completely up to date on the yellow vest movement, we are more aware of it than the average American might be.)

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/25/trump-is-too-pro-netanyahu-for-his-own-base-israel-polls-evangelicals/?utm_source=PostUp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=11933&utm_term=Flashpoints OC Wasn't sure where to stick this link in the foreign policy thread or media thread. But the first few paragraphs of this "article" are a breathtaking illustration of just how crooked even "RESPECTABLE" media outlets are when it comes to Trump coverage: Quote The latest extraordinary move regarding the Golan Heights will not only face widespread diplomatic opposition; it will play into the hands of those who want to make a mockery of U.S. democracy—a country capable of electing a visibly ignorant real estate tycoon, who brought in his unelected and stunningly inexperienced son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to guide his Middle East policy. Kushner, whose family has been friendly with Netanyahu since he was a teenager, has broken with long-held U.S. policy and United Nations resolutions all while the American public watches helplessly. Really? Really Foreign Policy? Is it inconceivable that Trump actually KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING when it comes to Israel? Heaven knows I hate the media for their outright ridiculousness, but this is just...what's the word I'm looking for? Obscene? Edit: in another SHOCKING development in this article, we find that people under 35 are completely brainwashed by the progressive educational system. Edited March 28, 2019 by Joe in Winslow

France also has a long history of non-peaceful protests, which are standard there for a minority party to voice its opinion. That's the stark difference between the USA's form of democracy vs France's. I'm afraid that their version is being imported here by the same forces that you're afraid of. USA's aggrieved know to take their action through the ballot box, not through street protests and vandalism. Yellow vests get our sympathy because at the root they are protesting government overreach. Doesn't mean we must also condone the methods, which are more than civil disobedience, and include blocking roads, vandalism and attacks on the President's residence. These protests have been violent, and the government's response shouldn't be surprising, nor the facts that someone who's smack in the middle of a violent protest got hurt.

And why I think - like all good peaceful protests with early success - they were infiltrated. IOW the violence was planned and carried out with a nefarious purpose to discredit the yellow vest movement. Sometimes having no leader for a movement is not a good thing. Now, who has paid for the infiltrators? That is where my tin foil hat is seeking better data. Edited March 28, 2019 by Buffalo_Gal
