    Wow my heart go out to these folks. Again I am sorry for what my gov’t did to the people of Gaza. Some of us know that our gov’t is a pack of crimmanals and will stop at nothing to get control of this world. But the word is getting out fast thank to people like Alex Jones at infowars.com

    We have a TAXPAYER FUNDED “holocaust museum” in Washington DC, and photos of the Ethnic Cleansing of Concentration Camp GAZA should be the first thing one encounters at the front door…………… If they refuse, they are DISCRIMINATING ……….
    IF, Israel wanted peace, it would FLOOD Concentration Camp GAZA with food and healthy economic activity. Did America massively shoot Black Americans dead in the streets and use Jet Fighters and launch Artillery and Missiles into CIVILIAN areas? NO! Israel does so because Israel wants Ethnic Cleansing, NOT peace. Where is the serious “Conflict Resolution” attempt, where is Israel’s Recognition of the PALESTINIAN’S RIGHT to EXIST!? Israel demands the Palestinians “repudiate” this and that …Does Israel REPUDIATE the TORAH???? Israel was APARTHEID South Africa’s ONLY ally, trding weapons, torture techniques, ILLEGAL NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY, with them. Today Israel carries on APARTHEID with it’s wall, and laws such as Palestinians must have different colored ID cards and license plates, use separate roads, be subject to constant bigotry.

    It is sad to see people amongst the rubble and think that they’re actually some of the “lucky” ones. I have the images of some of the death and destruction I’ve seen in photographs flash through my mind like a psychic scar and wonder just how much more horrible it is for the people who experienced it first hand (or worse, were the victims themselves).

    I am outraged that Israel (and its defenders) tries to excuse such barbarity. I damn them for what they did to me and *I* am one of the lucky ones.
