Israel made no secret of the fact of plans to re-occupy.. dire warning.. destroy the Palestinian.. Israeli\'s building toward.. trying to get US green light.. Janes\' Defense Magazine... an invasion would.. force the creation of a more radical Palestinian.. incredibly dangerous thing for the Israelis to do.. incredibly reckless.. but (countries have done such things) even if it backfires.. desperate colonial action.. it\'s only American support and aid.. that allows the Israelis to even contemplate... they continue to assassinate Palestinians, shoot demonstrators, demolish homes..

HK fled Paris, wouldn\'t answer questions.. from now until the day he dies he will subject to questioning.. possibly a charge of treason in the US.. the Nuremberg law against intentionally destroying civilians.. *aerial bombing not included because US/English prosecutors had a guilty consciense*.. how do we look other societies in the eye?.. knowledge of the plumbers.. HK the unindicted co-conspirator of Watergate.. he told Nixon to burn the tapes.. no statue of limitations.. quoting Gore Vidal: why did we all forget this?.. not the language we speak to the Serbs, the Germans..
