Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Keep 'Em Flying" (in solidarity)

From DC's anarchist cartoonist (and I run the cartoons and commentary as I get them from Mike, whether or not I agree with him)

"Keep 'Em Flying" (in solidarity)
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3708

In the words of the immortal John Cleese, my nipples exploded with 
delight to hear that Palestine was punching the bullies back, and in 
such spectacularly and totally boss fashion.

And in totally standard fashion, Israeli state mouthpieces are 
screeching about how this is their Nineleven™, how Hamas came for 
their babies — pretty much the usual response... never fails — when 
you punch the bully back, the little punk runs crying to the 
principal. Meanwhile, at MSNBC, some clown who sounded like he was 
still in college mentioned how this conflict has been going on "since 
time immemorial". Shame I couldn't pull Junior aside to remind him 
that the Nakba occurred in 1948, within the memories of many people 
still living, and that 1948 is not "time immemorial" (before I smacked 
the living shit out of him).

I can't pretend I'm not enjoying this, but I don't know which part of 
it I'm enjoying more — the idea that the resistance fighters would 
paraglide in, or watching one media babbler after another shitting 
themselves on the air over the fact that ZOMG THEY'RE USING 
PARAGLIDERS, THE BASTARDS.
