Snapped Shot

Potato Gun, Israeli-Style

These gents have come up with a brilliant way to protest the Israeli government's lack of action in punishing those who launch missiles at places like Sderot:

An Israeli man prepares to fire eggs and vegetables towards Gaza Strip using a home-made launcher near Kibbutz Nir Am, just outside the northern Gaza Strip, August 2, 2007. A group of young Israeli left-wing activists developed a home-made launcher made from recycled materials, to protest the Israeli government's helplessness in dealing with rocket attacks from Gaza.

The only difference I would have with these fine fellows is that Israel is not "helpless" against the rocket attacks—their hands are completely tied behind their backs, thanks to the accountability-free international organization that binds it. But other than that, this is a very amusing statement!

As always, more pictures can be found following the break!
