I was just looking at this photo again... I look at it and try to figure out what is passing through the minds of these people... I see fear, shock, courage and steadfastness and ... in the soldier, cowardice and the utmost of stupidity. Then, I look at the next scene in my head.... He realises he is pointing a weapon at tiny children... He drops it and while he is down there, he drops fully down on his knees and apologises. The woman takes her kids by the hand and just walks on. Why does everyone see the Warsaw Ghetto picture (the little boy with his hands raised to the rifle) and not see THAT SAME THING HERE AND BECOME SHOCKED!? why??? why, I will never know. We are just dumbed down. one day we will wake up. Yes, I'll be wearing black, and one of my keffiyahs and will hang my Palestinian flags proudly out the windows.

I thought, how appropriate is the color red for this, the color of blood! 60 years of brutal occupation and genocide are no occasion to rejoice, but this country is so Zionized right now and the truth doesn't get to the mass population because the Zionists own the media! As for my fellow activists and myself, we are wearing black during the celebrations...

American Christians have been so misled by heretical escapist theology-many think Israel's founding was the beginning of the second coming of Jesus and we all suffer from USA government and media that shields the truth.
