WAR, WAR AND MORE WAR

I think that Israel measures are beyond self defense. Their suffocating blockade of Gaza and now their inhumane military measures is going to gain Hamas more and more sympathisers and increase future militant strikes.

As Mahatma Gandhi said, this eye for an eye policy will make the whole world blind.

Are all the papers lying about the magnitude of civilian casualties? I really don't think so.
Too many kids are dying. At what number of civilian casualties does a military defensive move become pure terrorism?

Many leaders believe that the US can bring about a halt in Israel's offensive. Too me, thats debatable.

I find myself asking what is their stand in the wake of the Gaza crisis? How vocal have they been with regards to all those pictures of dead Palestenians spread across the headlines.

They were far more vocal, angry and much, much more responsive when Anwar Ibrahim was detained following sodomy allegations. They summoned our ambassador, publicly requested a transparent investigation and Madam Rice asked for a 'fair trial'.

Rejecting their goods and products? Difficult but I will do my part. Rejecting their endorsed 'leaders' of my country- definately.
