71. What the world saw but apparently you missed over the past several criminal assaults
Thu Mar 19, 2015, 01:32 PM
Mar 2015

on Gaza, was thousands of innocent Palestinians slaughtered, at least one THIRD OF THEM CHILDREN.

It was a despicable display in front of the world and lost all sympathy for Israel from around the globe.

It showed a total lack of respect for human life, and exposed Netanyahu's REAL goals, which we now know to be true, NO two state solution.

Kerry needs to retract his apology for his comments last year, and CLARIFY them now that the truth is out there.

Boycotts hopefully will increase, and if this was really a Democracy all of our tax dollars going to that 'apartheid' state should be cut off until these decades long games cease.

The days of people being intimidated by the old 'anti-semitic' false accusations are OVER. Get serious about peace talks or you're on your own, just as would happen with any other nation that has shown NO inclination to change its ways.

Enough of these right wing morons being funded by this country when we have children right here who go to bed hungry every night.

I don't really get the point of this post. Yes, the disrespect from Netanyahu cali Mar 2015 #1
