Another American who must publish his views in Europe

Ali Abunimah of Chicago, a friend of Obama's, is published in the Guardian, in the UK, saying that Palestinians have "no words left" to describe the policy of mass killings--

the majority civilians, including women and children. Israel claims most of the dead were Hamas "terrorists". In fact, the targets were police stations in dense residential areas, and the dead included many police officers and other civilians. Under international law, police officers are civilians, and targeting them is no less a war crime than aiming at other civilians.

Palestinians are at a loss to describe this new catastrophe. Is it our 9/11, or is it a taste of the "bigger shoah" Matan Vilnai, the deputy defence minister, threatened in February, after the last round of mass killings?

    Why hasn't the 2008 "anti-war" presidential candidate, Barack "AIPAC" Obama, yet issued a public statement condemning the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza by the Israeli war machine?

    Is Obama just too busy hanging out on the beach in Hawaii (while some U.S.-provided weapons are being used to massacre Palestinians) to take a moral stand against the Israeli war machine's latest war crime?

    On Al Jazeera, it was reported that the UN stated that 51 of dead were civilians.

    Damn the Jew controlled UN.

    Michael W.: voter in U.S. elections, dual citizen, expresses his disdain for civilian Palestinian deaths. Boasts about this on blog threads.

    Fine with this fellow Americans?

    The young Gaza policemen who were especially targeted are
    also innocent victims under international law. BTW, that was the
    only job available to them, thanks to Israel policy.
