19. More right wing drivel.

Wed Jul 23, 2014, 02:58 PM

Jul 2014

Israel has a right wing terrorist government that panders to the settlers, shoots teenagers in the back for throwing rocks, bombs family homes and kills children, bombs hospitals killing pregnant women. How could i as a black woman support the oppression of other brown people? To be a part of the 'in-crowd!?

I never give praise or support to foreign armies who kill children playing ball on a beach. Use. Swat team to get the rockets or missiles, do not just blast through hundreds of civilians. That shows lack of humanity.

Not to mention Israel is bombing people who have nowhere to go. If they get in a boat, they get blasted out of the water. The borders are closed. Israel has innocent civilians locked up with terrorists and have no qualms about killing any and everyone to get to the bad guy. That makes Israel now the bad guy.

LIKUD MUST BE STOPPED.
