Sorry for lack of context, I thot it would obvious-- here is the context: the strategy of Ferguson folk in challenging Israeli police at checkpoints is brilliant. It is reminiscent of white college kids going south to join the black youth in voting strategy. Having white faces joined with the black made it less likely they would be shot, not impossible, but less likely. same thing in the picture i posted. Having a bunch of Americans challenge Israeli police means they can get away with more than Palestinians can. Hence I call it brilliant. but really to alert on basis of "It sure looks like a racist 'they all look alike' "'joke". is plain weird.

We and the Palestinians do favor in some ways, though. I noticed a girl there this summer who looked like my sister. Just like her. So, there's that.

I found the hidden post - and even with the context in your post above, and a bit of searching, I can't figure out what your hidden post was about.

Is this an actual event?

Of course an alert may trigger a jury to come in with a hide first, but you're not worried about that...right?
