Showing Original Post only (View all)An Opinion About the Israeli Massacre. [View all]
This is being downplayed as a major world event...Question ? How does one compare this to other world events?...In Las Vegas on October 1, 1917 58 were killed and over 800 injured. In Gaza, 60 killed, thousands injured.... This event yesterday is horrific and awful beyond belief. Soldiers of the Israeli Army killed when they did not have to kill. (my opinion.) The U.S. has already prevented a U.N. Investigation into the killings which took place yesterday. From a few pictures that I have seen, the Gaza protesters did not have guns..They were using stones and other methods to fight the Army. This is a major event in the Middle East and in the world. The U.S. news reports are not treating it in a way that signifies it's importance.....Only time will tell. Very sad and horrific.

By all accounts that I've read and heard, the firebombs were a very, very small part of this
