You might not think Israel is particularly free, but to think it isn't a country mile freer than all it's fascist neighbours you'd have to be neck deep in mescaline.

What I do however think is, you need to get a clue about irony, and yes, satire.

This is, apparently (and ironically), the new blasphemy.  | Quote: | | | | | Am not going to wade into the "game" as you put it, and you don't seem to know what I think, Newbie Wonder.

Charlie Hebdo is VERY critical to the state of Israel and colony policy, especially of Netanyahu. No Jew ever threatened the newspaper.
Charlie Hebdo and frankly the whole of France don't give a fyck about when some Brits or Danes feel the need to apologize.

what the crap | | | | | Charlie Hebdo had this (in French) on its front cover, was accused of anti-semitism, and never apologized.
Fair warning, it can be shocking for some.
