Just saw the raw footage from the Gaza attack today...

...and I'm absolutely sickened. Apparently this was a non-violent march and an Israeli gunner with an itchy trigger finger over-reacted. People running with limp, possibly dead children through tear-gas filled streets. Bloody victims being hefted this way and that as they're stuffed into ambulances. And the image of a man being carried to an ambulance with the bloody, raw-boned stump of a right leg clearly visible. The Israeli government follows our unilateral lead...quashing terror by actually creating more terrorists.

Hell in a handbasket people...basket's got bum handles and is being carried over a pool of acid.

God help us all.

1. After seeing it, I'm convinced Israel has now an official policy

of genocide against the Palestinian people.

2. I hope that decent, freedom loving Jews everywhere will begin to speak

out about these atocities. I know for a fact that not all Jews agree with the brutality of the Sharon government but many are afraid to speak out because the retaliation that will be imposed upon them from family and business partners. It is so sad. So very, very sad.

3. And not a word about it on the morning news shows.

I shouldn't be surprised.
