Three Palestinians, including a 16-year old girl, were shot and killed by Israelis on Sunday. All three were accused of ‘having a knife’. The deaths bring the number of Palestinians killed to 94. 16 Israelis have been killed.

The most dangerous threat Palestinians face in their struggle for freedom and human rights, besides the Israeli war machine, is the absence of historical context.

After Paris, Israel advocates say that the west is in the same war as Israel. Hillary Clinton equates ISIS and Hamas, while Netanyahu says radical Islamic “beasts” prowl the streets and the waterways of “our common civilization.”

The New York Times policy of counting Jewish victims as having greater weight than Palestinian ones is a lot like southern attitudes in the 1840s chronicled by Mark Twain

Six weeks ago the Netanyahu government started to put a wall up between an Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem and a Palestinian neighborhood. Right-wing Zionists who want to expand Israeli control over East Jerusalem stopped the plan with a Facebook campaign funded by Australian mogul Kevin Bermeister.
