    I apologise if my particular brand of sarcasm passed over your head... I wasn't aware there was a correct answer!!

    For the record the first thing that sprung to mind was the missing malaysian Airplane, but as Sophie had already mentioned that along with one or 2 others I went instead for the second thing!!
    I also didn't want to be accused of licking Sophies Ass again

    Your news story is a worthy one, but the anti semitic nature of your first 2 posts is in very bad taste.

    Robin Williams R.I.P. And considering that this headline has brought depression very much into the public eye, I think it is worthy of a mention. Especially since depression kills hundreds worldwide everyday. Sadly missed by all his fans.

    ofc all criticism of zionism murderous actions against Palestinians is anti semitic

    but judaism and zionism are not the same , there are many jewish human rights organisations who are critical of israeli national policy concerning the indigineous population

    breaking the silence
    true torah jews
    to name a few
    here is a quick link for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...ased_in_Israel
    they all are routinely accused of being anti semitic
    would you label these 47 holocaust survivors anti semitic also ? http://mondoweiss.net/2014/08/holoca...s-palestinians

    Your point would have being better made without the cheap shots using jokes and photoshopped pics.
