The above Zionist apologists conveniently forget that among the many Palestinians and Lebanese the Israeli armed forces are butchering and pounding in Gaza,The West Bank and the Lebanon are christians as well as muslims.

The personal abuse from "Guest" is fairly typical of the bully boys who support the Zionist state.

Most of the American and western civilians in Iraq since its invasion are "private contractors",you know them, the trigger happy and well paid mercenaries often from right wing,racist or neo nazi backgrounds.

They have been shown on film shooting up civilian cars on the streets of Bagdhad and terrorising the population.

By way of a contrast the westerners who are in the West Bank and Gaza often belong to the International Solidarity Movement .Its members are in those troubled and occupied territories to support the Palestinians who face beatings and humiliation from both the Israeli Occupation Forces and the thuggish Zionist colonialists who keep stealing land,demolishing Palestinian houses,bulldozing olive groves and building the unwanted Apartheid Wall.

These westerners who are often Jewish, socialists or secularists have been given a warm and emotional welcome by Palestinian communities from Jerusalem to Gaza.They come in peace,are concerned about Human Rights and have put their lives on the line like the late Tom Hurndell and Rachel Corrie both murdered by the Israeli military.

Rachel had her back broken by a huge bulldozer while trying to prvent the demolition of a Palestinian home while Tom was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while helping children escape from a killing zone.

Both Rachel and Tom were murdered by the Israeli state .What happened to them is a common fate for many Palestinian victims of the Israeli military who have shot, strafed and blown up hundreds of children in the past few years. They have imprisoned,illtreated and terrorised many others and as I write are starving the young of Gaza in their ruined homes.

Burt still the Palestinians rise and still the Lebanese fight back!
