The zionists and their media buddies keep trying to spin this. "Dozens of Palestinians die and more terrorist attacks on poor Israeli citizens" is as good a summary title of the news spin as I can come up with.

Leave the spin out, and what are you left with?

Genocide.

Attacks on an impoverished area of refugees in slum camps who were already facing a humanitarian disaster as a result of a blockade, by a powerful military subsidized by the US. From the same folks who have been stealing the land of these refugees for years. Attacking all those who have been democratically elected in favor of someone the Israelis, the US and seemingly everyone else wants to impose on these people.

Today, 40 civilians were killed in a UN school. Many had gone there to take shelter from the ongoing attacks.

Yet the world is silent. The US vetos potential UN security council resolutions.

We hear more about the dead cat of the Bush family and the dead son of John Travolta than of the 629 killed and 2700 injured.

If President Elect Obama really is about change, he should listen to what the world is saying. Forget about the facts on the ground.

The world as a whole is outraged. How dare this be allowed to go on? This is murder plain and simple. This is a violation of every human right the UN and US stand for. This is a violation of the US Arms Export Control Act.

Obama and every human being on this planet have a duty. To prevent oppression. to prevent genocide. Speak out. Pray. Do not allow this to go on without any action by you. How would you want it to be if the roles were reversed, and the Palestinians were watching you be victimized? Write to your representatives and to the President elect. Write to your local paper. Speak out on the radio and the forums
