the ..”shining light”..is not shining very bright …except in the US congress and US msm…who protect their crimes at all costs….

the US government acts just like them…killing with impunity around the arab and muslim world..no out cry from US msm…for the mess that the US and the zioinists have made in Syria Libya Iraq Afghanistan Pakistan…etc etc

I was reading over at yahoo….Israel demands Palestinian Authority curb protests
http://news.yahoo.com/israel-demands-palestinian-authority-curb-protests-150859993.html

if you read the comments…you see why this will never end well…

Israel changes its law to reverse its own official agreements with outside entities and people even as those agreements are made; the result relevant directly here, is the endless revolving door for Palestinians freed by exchange or otherwise–all bringing the Palestinians right back to the Israeli jails or prisons: http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/draconian-arrests-of-palestinians-1.504612

A normal state, run by reasonable adults would take note of protests such as these, examine the incident/policy that elicited the protests, and determine a rational response whether it be a review or cessation of said policy. Israel though, is not a normal state but, as N Finkelstein describes it, a lunatic state. It acts with impunity because, with the holocaust providing moral armor, it believes it is immune from international criticism, U.N. Resolutions, State Department wrist slaps, et al. It’s Zionist goal is to take all of the land from the Med to the sea, and next…hegemony in the M.E. (a new Zionist world order). Sound conspiratorial? Unfortunately, it happens to be their agenda.
