Most Americans are aware of the situation in Israel and the Occupied Lands…..granted most of it id extremely biased….but this protest looks like it will be a lengthy one…..and Israel is doing all it can to make it as violent as possible and as one sided as can be….this way they keep some of their sympathies from 1948…..
For instance, they have passed a law that makes throwing a rock punishable by 20 years in prison (most arrested do not get the much time but they are arrested)…..plus the IDF has orders to shoot to kill with the stone throwers….and yet they still come out and attack tanks and armed troops with rocks…..
Sorry but that says something about their resolve…at least to me…..
In a recent poll in Israel the findings are disturbing…….
Over 50 percent of Israelis think that Palestinians suspected of carrying out terror activities “should be killed on the spot,” says a new think-tank poll. The hardening stance comes as 6 more Israelis were injured and 2 attackers killed over the weekend.
New shocking data has revealed that “a majority of Jewish Israelis (53%) … said they agreed with the statement that ‘any Palestinian who has perpetrated a terror attack against Jews should be killed on the spot,’” the survey, carried out by the Jerusalem-based Israel Democracy Institute, said.
The extrajudicial killings were supported even after the suspects have been arrested and “no longer pose a threat,” the self-described “non-partisan ‘think-and-do tank’ dedicated to strengthening the foundations of Israeli democracy” said on its website.

Funny not much mention of the Jewish settlers that are attacking Palestinians , burning their crops before they can be harvested…….so to me this is a case of ethnic cleansing…..the sad part it appears to be “sanctioned”……the West has turned a blind eye and that gives Israel a free hand…..
It is time for Palestine to be reborn…..I know that the Palestinian people loathe the wall and all it stands for…..but why nopt use that obscene structure to your advantage?
I wrote a piece awhile back for “Legationes” explaining what I am writing…..

I believe that this can be pulled off…..it will not be easy or quick…..but what have the Palestinians got to lose?
