Transcribed from the clipping
“U.S. foreign policies have supported the occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, so it is our duty to demand an end. We call for an unconditional, immediate cease-fire; full humanitarian access to Gaza and a lifting of Israel’s siege; and accountability for Israel’s misuse of U.S. weapons to kill Palestinian civilians.”
Posted by ISLAMIISPEACE at 8:47 p.m. Thursday. “Hmmm, let’s look at what’s happening here: 1. Hamas has fired over 180 rockets into Israel since the ‘cease-fire’ agreement lapsed several days ago. 2. Hamas continually says they want to ‘rid the Earth of the Israelis for all time.’ 3. Hamas is purposely using human shields as a way to deter retaliation attacks.
My question here is, what would the USA do if Cuba sent even one missile rocket into Miami? I think Israel’s reaction is justified, appropriate and long over due.” Posted by jeffmd at 11:05 p.m. Thursday. “They’ve been at it a long time and finding neutral ground is impossible.” Posted by realraker at 5:28 a.m. Friday.

The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
