‘We are wading in blood. Do something. Do anything’ (a quote from a doctor in Gaza)

(Photo from Irish Independent 12/1/09)

What the hell is wrong with the International Community that they allow the continuing bombing of Gaza?

This is absolute genocide. This is war crimes against a civilian population. This is absolutely crazy. Regardless of whoever your God is, please make your voice be heard to get Israel to stop. March, e-mail, beg, steal or borrow, whatever it takes ….every single one of us who sits without doing anything to stop this invasion is guilty of what is happening. If you don’t already know the details read here

It’s obvious America is the only country that can make Israel listen (they give Israel $3 billion dollars a year plus arms... )– what’s happening to the 'Time for Change'??? Why aren’t the people speaking out? Why is there a deadly silence? For God's sake and/or pity's sake, do something...

Totally unrelated, but I've heard on the grapevine that congrats in order for your first collection from a well-known UK publisher (okay, well known to me!)

Sadly, America will do nothing to to stop Israel. It's an absolute atrocity that civilians are being slaughtered in Gaza, but it's going to require the rest of the world to take action because America will not.

That's horrible! And we don't see pictures like that! Most Americans would stop it if we could ~ "we" being the "little people" like me. I don't understand it, Liz. But it makes me sick.

Barbara, sent you an e-mail via POF forum. : )

TFE, Collin, Maggie and Mimi - thanks for reading and responding...that photo did my head in and the fact that there are over 200 kids killed out of over 900 deaths is just an atrocity.
Collin, sadly, as I said before, I think if America doesn't speak out in some way, Israel won't take a blind bit of notice of the rest of the world....but the rest of the world has to keep trying, that's for sure...

I've signed all the petitions going: I think America is sitting on it's hands until Obama gets in... what a way to start a presidency...

Barbara, you're right, that's what's happening - a lot of hand-sitting - the 20th can't come soon enough!

Sent a wee e-mail to that address...wonder what glitched with the POF one...must check it out.
