I fucking hate you.

Mav.

Clearly the coolest word ever incorporated into the English language. What does it mean, I hear you cry in dispair. I will tell you, pathetic swine.

Mav is what you use to describe the indescribable. Perhaps you just saw a mans head spontaneously combust in front of you. Fuck this "wow" nonsense, you bust out the mav.

E.g.

*mans head burst into flames, group stares in awe*

Awesome guy with cat-like reflexes: "Woah. That was mav."
Everyone else, who are lame because they didn't say mav: "Yes."

Another situation in which mav could be used is to describe unbearable pain. Is there any need for swearing? No, not with mav.

E.g.

*Crazy guy with a chicken hat gets hit by a flying chainsaw in the achilles tendon, and is then forced to run on it*

Crazy guy with a chicken hat: "MAV! MAV! HOLY MAV!"
Crazed chainsaw thrower: "Hahaha, yes, run, you sneaky child..."

And finally, mav can be used as a devestating insult, with the power to utterly destroy whole nations, and pillage their native villages.

E.g.

*Roger the sawmill operator with one leg and a sword insults Barry the pickle feasting devil who likes lemon lime and bitters*

Roger the sawmill operator with one leg and a sword: "Fag..."
Barry the pickle feasting devil who likes lemon lime and bitters: "YOU MAV!"
Roger the sawmill operator with one leg and a sword: "My whole nation has been utterly destroyed and it's native villages have been pillaged!"

I hope now you can see how phenomonal mav is. Use it wisely, as it is considered highly offensive in many areas of the swiss alps and, in some cases, the ural mountains.

Farewell, young travellers of the english language. May correct spelling forever watch over you in your adventures.

- Slade.

`We - Israeli Soldiers - were put there to punish the Palestinians`, says Ilan Vilenda, an Israeli soldier who served in Rafah during the first Intifada.

Ilan is the only soldier of 21 who agreed to have his name published, after he was interviewed by psychologist Nofer Ishai-Karen.

The soldiers spoke freely to Nofer, who served with them in the same ASHBAL platoon 20 years ago; They disclosing their innermost emotions about the horrendous crimes, in which they took part: Murder, breaking bones of Palestinian children, actions of humiliation, destruction of property, robbery and theft.

Soldier `A` testimony:
`We decided to turn an old shower in our base to a make-shift detention cell. A Palestinian was brought there, handcuffed and mouth banded so he couldn`t talk, or move. We `forgot him there for three days`...

Soldier `B` testimony:
`I was on my first patrol. Others simply shot like mad. I started to shoot as they did. They `set my on`. I took my weapon and shot. Nobody was there to tell me otherwise`

-- Psychologist Ishai-Karen was shocked to find that the soldiers enjoyed the `intoxication of power`, and had pleasure from using violence. She said: `Most of my interviewees enjoyed their own instigated violence during their Occupation service``.

Soldier `C` testimony:
`The truth is that I love this mess - I enjoy it. It is like being on drugs.
If I didn`t enter Rafah, to put down some rebellion -at least once a week-
I`d go berserk.

Soldier `D` testimony:
What is great is that you don`t have to follow any law or rule. You feel that YOU ARE THE LAW; you decide. Once you go into the Occupied Territories YOU ARE GOD`.

Emotional dumbness

Soldier `E` testimony:
We drove an APC through Rafah. A man of 25 walked nearby. He didn`t hurl a
stone at us or anything. Then without any reason `X` shot him in the stomach. We left him lying on the sidewalk`.



Soldier `F` testimony:
Some `tough guys` developed it into `an ideology`, according to which we have to react brutally even for minor events. A woman threw a sandal at me. I kicked her with my foot at her crotch. I broke her. She can`t have children any longer. Next time she won`t throw sandals at me... and when another woman spat at me she got the butt of my gun in her face. She can`t spit now.

Soldier `G` described his first forced entry to a home to detain a
Palestinian:
`He was real big, some 30 years old. He refused detention. We hit
him but couldn`t force him down. Some people came hurling stones at us. We
beat him and told him to lie down. Till he finally did. We drove to the base
with him. By that time he had lost consciousness. He died some days later`.

Nofer Ishai-Karen: `Some NCOs encouraged the soldiers to behave brutally, and provided their own example.

Soldier `H` testimony:
After two months in Rafah a new NCO commander arrived. The first patrol, which he commanded, was at 06 hours. Rafah was under curfew. Not a soul was on the street. Then he saw a young boy, of about 4, playing in the sand in the courtyard of his home. The kid was building a castle in the sand. Suddenly the NCO, a guy from the Engineers Corps, ran to chase the kid. We followed. He captured the kid and broke his elbow. Broke the kid`s elbow! #### me if I`m not telling the truth! Then the NCO treaded on the kid`s stomach three times, before he moved on. We couldn`t believe our eyes... But the next day we went on patrol with that guy and the soldiers started to imitate him...
What happened then?
Some guys couldn`t stomach it. The case of severe abuse of three young
adolescents, who were bounded hand and foot by a staff sergeant, got them to
alert a senior officer. `When the medic
