Facebook | Arguing on Facebook is the Only Way to Solve the Israel/Palestine Problem

Description: "Feel like doing something about the middle east, but not willing to actually work for it?
Facebook has the solution for you. Join any one of dozens of Israel/Palestine related facebook groups.

Don't like Israel? Join a group with a picture of the Israeli flag burning on it.
Don't like Palestine? Join a group with a picture of Israel from the Mediterranean to the Jordan river.

Not only are you benefitting the people of Israel and Palestine, but you're providing a windfall to flag makers and map-makers.

Even better, join the groups the people who you don't support, and call them names on the message boards.

This group is dedicated to all those hardworking individuals who do so much to solve all of the middle east's problems by arguing on facebook. The grassroots efforts by these individuals is underappreciated, and we're here to appreciate them."

Some different type of Heros:

The 'who needs this discussion if I don't even recognize the other sides' existence' crowd

The Advocates of People Transfer (my personal favorite)

Anti-ers

Then, of course, theres the very select "Anti Anti"s, for those of you who are into meta-advocacy and double negatives

And then, theres the special "I care so much about this issue that I don't bother spelling the damn country's name correctly!" (At least 50 'Isreal' groups)

Anti-Isreal http://mcgill.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2215517831
http://mcgill.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2214690066
http://mcgill.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2219965163
Pro-Isreal
http://mcgill.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2209861675

The greatest of all, a group that mispells both Palistine, Palastinian, and Isreal (made by someone from Halifax, no less)

So many heroes, so little space to recognize the great contributions their online flame-wars have brought about for those Israelis and Palestinians.

If you truly love whichever side you claim to love, you will step up to the challenge, make it your personal struggle, to piss people off and look like a dumb twat."


A message from the creator:

Message: heroism in our midst

"Dear Fellow Heroes,

Many of you may have joined this ingathering of the heroes at its genesis. If so, you might have missed the ongoing heroism on this very group's wall, where every day, average facebookers are doing their part in solving the Israel/Palestine problem. Its truly a marvel of bravery and strength, and we should be honored to host such heroics on our wall.

Please take a moment to appreciate their resolve. Their courage will not pass unnoticed. Though I do recommend they examine the concept of 'irony'."
