  McFarland, with your Scottish surname, you must know all this but the telecommunications of

  the 1940s weren't terribly advanced, I gather. It's a good thing that, thanks to the Internet, the propagandists of whichever side don't have the ability to bully everyone into silence. UN Relief & Works Agency, Oxfam, the international media (kept out of Gaza!) and, of course, myself living on the western edge of Europe are all anti-semitic. If this is the best you can do, you and your cohort are pathetic. Avital Leibovitch is on television just now and not sounding as gung-ho but still trying to claim that Hamas militants were occupying the UN school where 40 Palestinian children were killed by the Israeli army. The twisted, torn bodies of the little children I've seen today (and some of the images are too gory to be shown at this time of the evening when other children, far from Gaza, could be watching) are among the trophies of the Israeli army and its supporters in America, of whom none are more vocal than Bush and Cheney. They dragged the US into one calamitous war and Colin Powell was their messnger at the UN. If Americans want more death and disaster, you're going the right way about it but it might not be confined to the Middle East, you half-wits.
