Basically, after they were driven out of their homes through murder and terror in the Palestinian Exodus of 1948, the idea is to make life as impossible as possible in order to make them leave their home country for good. It's some sort of ethnic cleansing with highs (the massacres and raids) and steady lows (the letting people slowly die by limiting medicine, water and food). In 2010, there's a Palestinian home being demolished at any given moment. The IDF and armed settlers move into a Palestinian town, force a curfew on the Palestinian homeowners till they become fed up and move to the water-scarce desert lands, where they have to deal with sewage being dumped on to them from "israel"i settlements which were previously, their homes. And yes, thanks to the Zionist lobby, this is all happening with US blessings and in violation of at least three UN resolutions.TareXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481767746378425352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-87975413072110664072009-09-26T09:05:11.430-04:002009-09-26T09:05:11.430-04:00Oops...those last two comments go on Sept. 3...Oops...those last two comments go on Sept. 3...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-12181555401316958662009-09-26T09:04:50.009-04:002009-09-26T09:04:50.009-04:00she is so cute!she is so cute!Abranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-62897019746347669902009-09-26T09:04:33.023-04:002009-09-26T09:04:33.023-04:00Take pity!

I just have to not think about moments like that or I start generalizing with all of the people I meet here. I'm glad you got home safe!Brooke S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12495668558037672507noreply@blogger.com
