Damned Tourists

Malaysian authorities have detained four tourists - two Canadians, a Briton and one Dutch national - for allegedly stripping naked on Mount Kinabalu

Um, okay...

, an act some locals say angered tribal spirits and caused a deadly earthquake, officials said.

Pictures of 10 naked tourists had spread on social media and infuriated locals following the 6.0-magnitude quake that struck near the mountain on Friday and killed 18 people. Six other tourists are still apparently at large, according to police.

We must hunt the evildoers down now and BRING THEM TO JUSTICE !

Israel in Colour by British Pathé

Interesting time-capsules in these videos, including in the way Israel was portrayed by British Pathé back in the 'fifties & 'sixties.  Keeping in mind that Israel during much of this period was more political ally of the UK & France than of the United States.  There's a more than somewhat touristy if not propagandistic tone to many of the videos, but always cool to see a window into the past.  And in colour no-less.  Hell, most British teevee was still in black-and-white till the seventies.

Last line of the last video, from '69: 'They hope for peace.  The tragedy is, can it be achieved ?'  Well...
