"F--- Zionism, f--- nationalism, f--- Americanism, f--- militarism, f--- fascism...". Although these lyrics by a popular punk band, Propagandhi, are blunt and to the point, they are not simply words expressed by tattooed, dyed-hair, baggy pant-wearing, multi-pierced punks. These people do not wear Tommy Hilfiger, and some might take drugs that most people have not even heard of, though there is one idea, in particular, in which these people have a point and need to be heard.
