    Palestinians need the worlds protection

    To launch an all-out military attack against people who could not possibly fight back in the same manner is sheer cowardice. To destroy the infrastructure of a people who have nothing is deep cruelty. To name people terrorists because they want land back that was taken from them and handed over by the Western governments without consultation is blindness.

    The old news media may have an unnatural love of Israel and act as cheerleaders as Israel uses the 100 Palestinian deaths to 1 Israeli criteria but the internet will tell the true stories. As the world turned against America in the Bush years for their outright brutality, the world will turn against Israel for this war.
