    The power to prevent the killing of Palestinian children is in YOUR hands.

    Another typical Israel-First America hater, reflexively supporting policies and subsidies which will lead to dead Americans. But she has so much contempt for Americans that she probably can't wait, so that the religious war she cheerleads for can come home, and she can show everyone how brave she is by putting on the uniform and killing The Other. In fact, she will probably have her whole family with her, shooting The Other, because she is so brave and willing to risk putting her family in harm's way fighting other peoples' religious wars.

    What a coward.
