The US is continuing to massacre thousands of Iraqis, leaving cities without clean water and allowing hospitals to get looted while protecting the Iraqi Oil Ministry. Israel has told the Palestinians to "learn from Iraq" which suggests that IDF attacks on civilians will only get worse. This week, the Israeli Defense Force killed Thomas Hurndall,an ISM activist from the UK, who was in Gaza to promote peace. Everyday innocent Palestinians die and the world hardly notices.
