A thread I've been waiting to open for quite a while, and now with the growing concern over Mark E. Smith, David Thomas cancelling shows, the steady rate of demise in these particular sub geners (in which I include Coldwave, Post/Dance-Punk, Gothic Rock, No Wave, Industrial, etc.) and the altogether senescence (adding to a sometimes unhealty life habits) of some household names - the necessity is growing.

I agree, living in Israel, I'm going to have to admit that there are far too many genocidal freaks lurking around, but most of the people are kinda apathetic towards the whole thing and silently accept their government's actions and one could argue that this is even worse. Some of them balantly argue that they 'lost all their empathy to the people of gaza', some of them try to find excuses, others are just ignorant to what their government is doing within its own borders and in other places. There was an extraordinary notion of revenge during the first few months that crossed barriers to the so-called centre-left, even some of the biggest opposers of Netanyahu didn't think for a second that they should refuse to participate, even until this very moment.

I don't remember if it was mentioned in this article, but there was a low ranking militant that went close to WCK's vehicle (but backed up before it started moving), this caused the car to be marked, and the intelligence decision was to allow up to 20 uninvolved casualties to take him down.
