Gaza Children Mourn Classmates After War

(GAZA STRIP) - When they returned to their classes after the savage Israeli war, Gaza children mourned the loss of classmates. These pictures were taken on the first school day.

“But when I attended my class and felt very sad and my tears fell from my eyes when I recognised that my best friend Salwa and her family were killed during the war.”

“Everyone in Gaza has a story of death and dispossession, yet the Palestinian spirit seems to rise ever higher – humbling lesson in humanity.”

Vic like a broken clock you can also be correct every once in a while. May I inform you that Governor Kitzhaber, Neil Goldschmidt, Vera Katz and well over 9 others in the state legislature also are Israeli citizens. Ask anyone one of them if they had relatives that were involved in killing/wounding our people on the USS LIBERTY. Of course they play the anti-Semite card. Pay attention to their past, present and future votes. They are linked with Bloomberg to register then confiscate our firearms. You think I'm kidding...look around and see just what they are doing. They want to do with us what Goldshcmidt did to a little girl, etc. .

Yet here in Oregon, we have an Israeli citizen for a senator ...Ron Wyden. It is time for him to decide whether he is an Israeli or an American. If he cannot choose, then he should be removed from office by whatever means neccessary.

These are not nomadic people....they are Palestinians that have lived in their homes and villages for hundreds of years, scores of generations of families making a life. Just like Jesus did. By the way, a lot of them are Christians too, not that it should matter. Pray for Palestine! Stop the Genocide!

To the surviving children of Palestine; I am truly so very sorry you, your families, your neighbors, and your country suffer so as a brutal slaughter was waged across your land. I have tried to remain informed and active politically so that I could do whatever I can to help prevent my country from inflicting further such tragedies on others. As you might imagine, sometimes I too feel very helpless in this regard. You all have done much to remind me that sometimes courage can be as simple a thing as to just keep moving forward. And for that, you have my sincere respect, admiration, and gratitude. When you are grown, please forgive us for not doing more to protect you. To the dead, there is nothing I can say to lessen the pain. You are missed. ~ LanceThruster

So maybe it would be best if these nomadic people just hit the road and re-absorp into other mooselim locations before they are totally wiped out?
