Regarding the crisis in Gaza…

I must say that my sympathies in this conflict are with the Israeli citizens to know that your existence and security can only be realized by the murder of innocent women and children must weigh heavily on their conscience.

But like all true mindless citizens of democracies they have abdicated their own thoughts/ideas/opinions to that of their zionist leaders. This is unfortunately true of the US citizens too who have for too long been led by the nose by the likes of George W Bush- isn’t it time the people of the world rallied against the hypocrisy of their leaders?

The question again rises to one’s mind can a single person make a difference?

YES, I CAN (Not YES WE CAN)

Maybe a blog post is only a token protest but what about a million what about a billion blog posts?

We now look to the heavens not for divine inspiration but to aviod shells and rockets - what have we made of this world?

Can we wait for Obama to change the world? - NO WE CAN’T remember he’s just a politician - The only true way we can change is if we look deep in ourselves and realize it is our own motives that doom us to destruction it is time each and everyone stood up and took individual responsibility for the actions of our stupid leaders.

Yes I mean the Americans - the citizens of the USA its your time now - how will history judge you?

Will you be like the Germans under the Nazi’s?

Gaza is burning - are you playing your lyre - dear Americans?
