Think he has done bro, don't think they care...

We have a saying in Germany ... One crow won't pick the other crow's eye

Good one, we can only do our bit, it ain't anti-Semitism to be against oppression..

As a German, I have to be twice careful. But I only oppose the state of Isreal, as I oppose any given imperialist and capitalist system, that oppresses the freedom of people.

100% I'll always stand up for an oppressed people, sometimes it's the only voice they have..

Aye. Another good example is the Basque Country. United in struggle. Tiocfaidh ar la

Is right, heading there in a few weeks.. As they say "Oppression breeds resistance, and resistance ain't terrorism" (Said with a clenched fist in the air)..

I love that quote

And I am sure, history will absolve us

Lets hope so..

"Palestinians are deprived of basic human rights, their land has been occupied, then colonised, then confiscated by Israeli settlers."

Jimmy Carter (Former pres of the US of A)

“The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?

It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict.
No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate?

Israel has expanded by force of arms. After every stage in this expansion Israel has appealed to “reason” and has suggested “negotiations.” This is the traditional role of the imperial power, because it wishes to consolidate with the least difficulty what it has already taken by violence.
The aggression committed by Israel must be condemned because every expansion is an experiment to discover how much more aggression the world will tolerate.

We are frequently told, “We must sympathize with Israel because of the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis.” What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and to invoke the horrors of the past to justify those of the present is gross hypocrisy. ”

Bertrand Russell

This statement on the Middle East was dated 31st January, 1970, and was read on 3rd February, the day after Bertrand Russell's death, to an International Conference of Parliamentarians meeting in Cairo.

It was his last political act.

Bertrand Russell was an intellectual giant of the 20th century who bore witness to his generation's painful transition from Victorian optimism to postwar trauma. He always believed that ideas could change the world. He was closely involved in many of the events that shaped world politics during the first two-thirds of the 20th century. He was a prominent peace activist.

"The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenceless civilian population, is the final phase in a decades-long campaign to ethnically-cleanse Palestinians.

Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a population that has no air force, no air defence, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armour, no command in control, no army… and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder."

Noam Chomsky

"We need to support a peace between Israel and Palestine, with the emphasis on Palestinian rights."

Mark Ruffalo

“I think it was smart that you’re wary of using the word “terrorism,” and if you talk about the cycle of violence, or “an eye for an eye,” you could be perpetuating the idea that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a balanced conflict, instead of a largely unarmed people against the fourth most powerful military in the world.”

Rachel Corrie

It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews)do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews.

Hello Dino

War is never fair .. it is always a show of power .

I am curious why other Arab/middle eastern nations do not intervene in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict . Do they not care ??

If the "world " did intervene do you really think peace would be the consequence ?

What intervention do you believe would bring a peaceful resolution to the conflict ?

No pressure to answer

Hi Blondey, I wouldn't call what is happening to the people of Gaza "War"

I would like to see a world movement as we saw against the Apartheid regime in South Africa, if it was wrong there it should be wrong in Palestine, it seems that the only way to make a difference is to hit people in their pocket.

As for other Arab/middle eastern nations I don't know, maybe fear.

Just in general, no country, no people, should be invaded or oppressed by any other country. Especially not for profit or to enlarge an imperialist reign of terror. This applies for Palestine, the 6 counties in the North, or the Basque Country.
