How Long do we Allow Israel to Attack Children?

The time has come to stop the war crime capitol of the world from killing any more innocents.

(SALEM, Ore.) - We learned last week from our sources in Israel, that the Murder case involving little Abir Aramin, an 8-year old girl shot by Israeli soldiers while buying gum from a kiosk next to her elementary school, will be closed.

Abir Aramin's life was valuable.

The 'immoral' to the story is the precedent set by this case; it means children shot by Israeli Defence Forces in the future will also be dismissed and forgotten - as long as there was more than one Israeli soldier present, and none admit to being the one who pulled the trigger. I hate to imagine what kind of sentence they would even receive for killing the little girl, possibly six months? It would not be fitting by any form of comparison.

Each of of you who 'supports Israel' is making a grave error. Each time you let your ignorance of what is really taking place there, a racist flesh grind packed with screams from dying babies, sign your name to it. Tell people you believe in it.

Tell them you support the 'victim state' of Israel. Tell them you believe in the oppression, that you support theft and do not believe there is anything wrong with Israel stealing another Palestinian family's home.

Tell the world next, how you would react if you were in the shoes of the Palestinians. They didn't ask to be who they are, or where they are, they just are.

The idea that these children must be killed by Israel before they grow up to become terrorists will be the end of us all, and a most deserving one.

What the hell happened to humanity? It is one thing to have the wool pulled over your eyes, it is another thing to go on supporting what is clearly wrong after your eyes are opened. I admit I am unable to shake the image of little Abir, I speculate as to who she may have become in this world, but mostly I wonder what gets into the hearts of men to do anything like this.

This world is going to hell in a handbasket over Israel and the history of the murderous USA which lost its soul sometime after WWII. Back then people still had the balls to speak out, to stand up. Today they are a bunch of willy nilly sheep running around going baaah! Baaah!

And what happens to sheep again? Oh yeah, they are led to slaughter, that's it. You swipe their fur a couple of times and then slit their throat.

This is the position Americans are headed for if they don't pull their heads out of their proverbial asses.

If the Whitehouse and Congress would stop listening to their Party Pimps and stop prostituting themselves to the highest bidder, we might get honest humanitarian vote out of them. It is one thing for Congress to say they believe what Israel is doing is to counter terrorism but it is another thing still to say they believe this beautiful innocent child was a terrorist. I would like to see one member of Congress stand-up for the rights of children in Palestine and the rest of the world. I would like to see one member of Congress stand-up and accept the mantle of "Champion for the Children of the World". Does anyone believe there is even one willing to take time out of electioneering and fund raising to don that mantle? Tim King is 100% right to use that Swastika to represent Israel. The people running Israel and populating it’s armed forces are not the same people who suffered and died at the hands of the Third Reich. Those people would be sickened by what their decedents are doing to Palestine. They now curse them from their graves and turn their heavenly eyes from the state of Israel. Bigotry and racism cannot be justified because your ancestor suffered and died at the hands of other bigots and racists. He who harms a child is a monster and a state which allows and defends harming a child is a cesspool.

Whoever allowed that hate speech swastika drawing against Israel should be fired.

Tim King: Are you kidding?  What are you doing to bring Israel under control?  You can't say we aren't trying.  We are SICKENED by the acceptance of Israel's war crimes and attacks EVERY DAY on Gaza, and oppose any government responsible for the bloodshed of so many innocent people.  I absolutely don't mind using this telling artwork of Carlos Latuff, I just don't know if it makes enough of a statement about the correlations of Zionism and Nazism.  Just change a few words, that's it.
