I was hopping across the internet today, like a round stone
skimming across the surface of a still pond, when I found an interesting article about
Palestinians living in terror. The
article is from ADC, which is the American-Arab Discrimination Committee. I’m not sure what they do, except lobby for
money in
The article says that the Palestinian people are living in
terror, because of the war that has ensued over one person.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination
Committee (ADC) reiterates its deep concern and condemns the ongoing
crisis in Gaza, which is further exacerbating the inhumane living
conditions of the Strip’s 1.4 million Palestinian residents.
Yesterday, an undisclosed number of Israeli troops amassed at the
border of the Gaza Strip. Additionally, the Israeli Air Force missiles
struck several bridges, and Gaza’s only power plant, leaving nearly 65%
of its residence without electricity and running water, and further
restricting movement.Additionally, last night the Israeli Air Force began to
deliberately produce sonic booms over heavily populated areas in Gaza,
which have been proven to cause psychological and mental damage as
well.Israeli Officials have stated that this offensive is in response to
the June 25 attack and subsequent capture of Cpl. Gilad Shalit as
prisoner. In response to the military operations, the Israeli human
rights agency Btselem warned that the power shortages and lack of water
would severely impact health conditions in the area. The group added
that the Israeli government should only use methods consistent with
international humanitarian law to secure the release of Cpl Shalit.
I asked a gentleman that is from
they would vote in a terrorist organization as a government body. His answer was that the old government was a
bunch of crooks, so they figured that Hamas was better. Well, I try to not get into aspects of other
cultures that I’m not familiar with, but do they really think they are better
off.
It does sadden me deeply, that the innocent have to pay such
a heavy price for ignorance on both sides, but like my buddy Phil said, “
essentially be at war forever”. What’s
your say?
