Nothing vague about it, just some facts to counter the propaganda and lies that are swallowed up by gullible Westerners For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |

I understand also that the residents were denied escape by Egypt when modern Israel was formed, in order to have a continued grievance with Israel. Let all facts emerge; it's the surest way to resolve it all properly. On the face of it, Israel appears to use disproportionate force; and so humane tendencies lead those of us without prior bias to wish they would go easier. Yet again, the atrocities suffered by their people in WW2 invoke empathy too. A world at peace is my dream; who's with me? scottish, british, european but first of all Human. Even this is not true. I am Spirit appearing to be solid, just like all life everywhere |

Carlos Latuff gets paid to put these words - "I am Palestinian" - in the mouths of long-dead Warsaw ghetto Jewish children. That's probably more words right there than the food they got fed. Maybe Latuff should consider changing that meme to "I am one third of a Palestinian" |

A poisoned thyroid could be at the root of the problem, or it could be vitamin deficiency. Very poor people tend toward obesity because their diets revolve around starchy foods. Look at the native Hawaiians, American Indians, Mexicans, etc. If the Palestinians are having a weight problem, I assure you, it isn't because they are prospering. Fat does not equal happy or wealthy. And as for the concentration camp inmates of WWII, they were fed well and cared for UNTIL the allies bombed the hell out of the railways making it impossible to bring in supplies near the end of the war. Typhoid swept through the camps as well and overwhelmed the infirmaries. Anne Frank was one of those who died IN AN INFIRMARY. Why have hospital facilities in a death camp?
