Saving Private Whatever
I can't stop thinking about the israeli invasion in Gaza. It breaks my heart to see the whole world, and specially the arab world, turn its back on an entire nation.

So it's ok to believe that all Israel wants is to save private-whatever-his-name-is. And cut off electricity and water plants and destroy a bridge and bring in war tanks into a neighbouring country. Some 30 years ago, a group of Brazilian students kidnapped the american ambassador in Brazil. I don't recall America destroying Brazil in search for the Ambassador.

What really saddens me is to watch BBC World or Euro News and see how the information is being delivered to the world. It's referred to as " rescue mission".

We're such selfish selfish people. It's not the first time: we turned our backs on Rwanda, we turned our backs on Niger, we choose to believe that America is freeing Iraq, and if even the UN refused to call the Jenin Massacre a massacre ( they called it a tragedy), why should we care about the palestinians?

In the last 48 hours, over 20 civilians have been killed in Gaza. That's like, almost one every 2 hours.
