". . .TIT FOR TAT What Happens When You Post Revenge Porn?
Nerve Lust
It's a truly modern story: Man posts revenge porn of ex-girlfriend, ex-girlfriend then posts revenge porn of man. . ."
A contemporary problem, to be sure. Revenge Porn!!???
First, the only place revenge should exist is in a Mel Gibson movie. In real life, it serves no purpose and never solves anything. (Example: Israel and Palestine)
Second, revenge and porn within the same sentence is pure incongruity. Only in this post-digital, pro-reality-TV, sub-stratus-personal standards age could two unrelated terms be used within the same sentence and actually portray a veritable reality.

(from http://truth-out.org/news/item/12782-un-holds-urgent-security-council-meeting-us-stands-with-israel) comments of VIJAY PRASHAD, PROF. INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, TRINITY COLLEGE
". . . the UN has been consistently trying to raise questions about Israeli action in the occupied territories and Gaza.
You know, these areas are under Israeli occupation. There is no sovereign nation of Palestine. There is no sovereign Gaza. So when the attack took place on Gaza, the attack did not take place of one country fighting another; it was an occupying power using disproportionate force against a place which it has held under occupation since 1967.
In that context, the Egyptians, Moroccans, and others called for an emergency session. At the emergency session, the various countries, the 15 members of the council at this time, all said that something must be done. The president of the council at this point is the UN permanent representative from India, Hardeep Singh Puri, and after the meeting, he said there was unanimity in the council, that something had to be done, that the situation was atrocious.
The problem was that there was no, as it were, agreement on what should go forward, and therefore the council was paralyzed. In other words, most of the 15 members of the council at this time said that Israel should be condemned for the use of disproportionate force, not only, you know, the extrajudicial assassination of Hamas members and suchlike, but also the bombing of, say, water towers. You know, what does a water tower outside Khan Yunis have to do with the firing of rockets from Gaza into Israel? Why was a water tower targeted? So these were the kind of questions they raise.
But the United States blocked any attempt at crafting a resolution. And Ambassador Susan Rice made it very clear that the real culprit here was not the Israeli government, but Hamas. And this was a curious thing, because she spoke of the conflict as if it was a conflict between two governments, two sovereign governments, and therefore the United Nations has to come in and condemn both governments. You know, she wanted a kind of proportionality in condemnation, even though the war is a fundamentally disproportionate war. . . "

The Palestinian president's recent comments on the refugee issue got a rise out of both Palestinians and Israelis. The long-forgotten prospect of peace negotiations re-entered the Israeli consciousness while Palestinians branded their leader a traitor.
Abbas was asked about his birthplace of Safed and his response included remarks to the effect that he does not claim the right to live there. The President's advisor said he was being "realistic" by making such statements. Bringing back 5.5 million Palestinian refugees is certainly not realistic.
Disappointment was felt by Palestinians that their leader made an overture to Israel without any reciprocation. Some went so far as to say Abbas is a failure.
Comments of the like, of course, prompted a little two-stepping with additional comments that what he said was a personal position and it did not mean conceding the right of return.
Political opponent Hamas completely rejects the idea of negotiation and believe that only violence will gain what Palestinians desire.
Cool reaction from Netanyahu In Israel, officials debated how serious Abbas was. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of his Cabinet reacted coolly, even mistrustfully, to Abbas' remarks.
And complicating the issue with an uncharacteristic burst of honesty, Israel lately admitted killing a deputy of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Thank goodness Israeli moderates view these developments as a chance to negotiate with a person they consider a partner for peacemaking.
The world can only hope that this could at long last revive the prospect of peace in the area.
