I am not in favor of Hamas. This is not about Hamas. It is about what Israel did in violation of international law.

When it comes to compliance with international law, there are indeed two standards: one for Israel and on for the rest of the world.

Israel’s annexation of east Jerusalem and every last settlement it has built in the West Bank violate international law. Where is the outcry about that from the law-abiding Zionists living in this country?

One of the reasons Bush gave for invading Iraq was its alleged violations of international law and UN Security Council resolutions.

Israel has been in violation of dozens of UNSC resolutions:

Rogue State: Israeli Violations of U.N. Security Council Resolutions
by Jeremy R. Hammond / January 27th, 2010

Following is a list of United Nations Security Council resolutions directly critical of Israel for violations of U.N. Security Council resolutions, the U.N. Charter, the Geneva Conventions, international terrorism, or other violations of international law:

Double standard for Israel? You betcha!

Widespread ignorance about the area? Likewise!

If you are not Muslim you are much better off in Israel than any other country in the area. Christians are being forced out of all the Muslim countries and are not allowed to practice freely.

In Gaza convents have been attacked and destroyed.

Hamas has never lived up to any of the agreement.

There are two standards one for Israel and one for the rest of the world.

Where was the out cry when Humas destroyed the summer camps for children.

Ignorance about the area runs rampant.

Israel could have waited until those boats arrived in territorial waters, surrounded those unarmed vessels and escorted them to Ashdod with no loss of life, but that was not good enough for the Zionist-terrorists.

Prior to its act of piracy, Israel was claiming that there were terrorists and war materials on those boats.

After murdering those 9 people, Israel had full control of the boats and their passengers.

Did they identify the so-called terrorists whot were allegedly on those boats? NO!

Did they show the world the war materials that were allegedly on those boats? NO!

Those boats were full of pacifists and humanitarian supplies, and Israel felt entitled to resort to piracy and mass murder.

Israel has NO right to exist as a Jewish-only state. The partition and ethnic cleansing of Palestine was a crime against all the people who were living in that country.

Israel is supposed to be a democracy, but it was set up by an act of pure tyranny. Palestinians were never allowed to vote on the issue of partition of their own homeland. It was imposed upon them by foreigners.

Ms. Dreyfuss, how would you and your friends like it if someone did that to you?

Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea, when apartheid Israel ceases to be.

Viva Palestina!
