Palestinians are slaughtered with impunity and I'm still waiting for your outrage -either all lives matter or no lives matter. This planet is sick, depraved. When Hollande says this is an act of war, what is Iraq, Libya, Syria, Gaza, Yemen and now > What are the drones?

What is our 'collateral damage' but their dead relatives. You expect them to give a flying fuck about our children, our relatives while we bomb them into submission.

Humanity hasn't learned very much.
