Hello World: Israel is Out-Classing You in Civil Disobedience

what's happening in syria is a revolution (attempt)against a totalitarian regime<p>what's happening in israel are protests<p>not remotely comparable

They're mad about prices of their rents but strangely they don't care about the price of the settlements. Or the injustice of them.

It's a funny juxtaposition with Syria.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reactions_to_the_2011_Syrian_uprising" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reactions_to_the_...</a>

It's a (not so)funny juxtaposition with Gaza. <a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/gazaoneyearon/2009/12/20091230113310410824.html" rel="nofollow">http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/gazaoneyearon/2009/12/200...</a>

This is badly written. The first paragraph of the article suggests the civil disobedience in Israel is far from classy, but in fact that first paragraph describes London and is meant to be juxtaposed to the next paragraphs that describe the protests in Israel. Some commenters already interpreted it wrongly.

Arrington-AOL must be preparing to launch TechCrunch-Israel.

Techcrunch is getting into the social commentary business?
