Both Sides Are Manipulating Us

OMG! Ozzy is going to be so proud of me!

The following video, ostensibly of anti-Israel demonstrations in London following the ill-advised boarding of "The Freedom Flotilla," contains grotesque and sophomoric manipulation of the crowd scene meant to enhance the appearance of size, and size matters in demonstrations, if nowhere else.

\

At the 0:21 second mark, note the threesome who pass by: with a man in a green windbreaker looking at his cell phone and the woman who takes a drag on her cigarette. They are followed by a young, thin, grinning man wearing horizontal stripes.

Then note at the 1:07 mark the exact same threesome pass by, with the same woman taking the same drag on her cigarette, followed by the same shit-eating-grinning fellow.

This is not an one-minute-and-thirty-four-second demonstration---it is a forty-seven-second demonstration played twice! Cheap, tacky manipulation! Long live Israel! L'Chaim!
