Portland Protests Israeli Massacre of Palestinian Civilians

Today, December 28th, 2008, American citizens concerned with Social Justice gathered at Pioneer Square in downtown Portland to protest recent Israeli massacres of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

A lone speaker at the small gathering spoke passionate truth to those Sunday shoppers who, for the most part hurried past, disregarding his plea for compassion and action.

He spoke of Israeli War crimes, the illegal and immoral collective punishing of Palestinian civilians and wondered, "where is the outrage?"

According to the speaker, this "Occupation has been condemned by every Human Rights organization around the world. We must start to protest this inhuman brutality, which is supported by the United States, wholeheartedly."

And he states further that Barak Obama, for whom so many people voted, hoping for a change in Foreign Policy, has said nothing since this has started. "His silence is deafening, and you know he is not going to criticize Israel and their war crimes. He is no better than George Bush!" "We have to be in support of the Palestinian people, who are innocent. These massacres are not stopping..............do something....we cannot let these massacres go on."

The UN investigative report concluded there is evidence indicating serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law were committed by Israel during the Gaza conflict, and that Israel committed actions amounting to war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity.

Yo seriously, (this is coming from a non-jew slash israeli) but to be honeset, world would be a safer place if Israel just controlled all of middle east, for both the humanitarian reasons (women won't have to get treated like shit) and there wouldn't be rag heads trying to blow the shit up. There, my point has been made.

Excellent. I'm definitely one of those "idiots protesting in the streets,  retarded untermenches who need to be shot." Obviously HeroicLegacy wishes he/she was gunning down Palestinians at this very minute. I'll throw my lot in with the Palestinians any day. Good luck with that killing thing.

I watched an excessively more educated documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and there are some injustices on part of the Israeli government, however, Hamas attacks Israel constantly, and Israel never fired the rockets back until they new exactly where the rockets were coming from, in order to minimize casualties. These idiots protesting in the streets are retarded untermenches who need to be shot.
