Another day in the middle east. Even the neighboring countries have mostly given up on the Palestinians. Seems all they know about is rage!

Watch “dispatches the killing zone”. They shot and killed a peace activist Rachel Corrie, and got away with it. Everybody in the West Bank are targeted by the occupying force. Young, old, arab, caucasian, male, female, it doesn’t matter. And nobody says a thing. Ever!

In 1967, Israel launched the Six-Day War and captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights. Land has changed hands since then, but Israel still conducts military operations and controls everything going in or out of Palest ian areas. That’s an occupation force to me.
I also like the attempt by some to equate a trained soldier wearing a flak jacket, armed with an automatic assault rifle, backed by tanks as equal to a 10 year old boy with a rock.
