I agree.Got a link to back that up?
Where's your link to that?
Rachel Corrie was deliberately ran over with a bulldozer in the process of razing a Palestinian doctors' home.
There is outrage when the incidents occur.
When innocent Jews are blown up in pizza parlors by misguided zealots the US media slavishly swallows every Zionist talking point AIPAC-controlled politicians and pundits offer. When Jews murder a solitary US civilian trying to prevent the illegal destruction of a Palestinian family's home, the same corporate hacks blame the victim. When Israel murders 34 US service men in international waters, the corporate hacks are too timid to say anything. That should outrage everyone.
Now is the time for mass non-violent civil disobedience in Palestine; IF the western corporate press provides the same coverage it gave to North Africa, the groundwork for a federation of Israel, Palestine, and Jordan could follow.
"The atmosphere in the Middle East and North Africa today is electric. Thanks to the scenes of peaceful protesters ousting dictators in Tunisia and Egypt, belief in nonviolent people power is at an all-time high.
"But for Palestinians to continue making the same decision, they have to believe they will succeed.
"If nonviolent Palestinian protesters are crushed by force and their repression is met with silence from the Western states that support Israel, many might choose an alternate path."
