The Palestinians are and have been failed by their own leaders. Try to declare an end to the armed resistance. The post-Arafats and now-Haniyehs will not allow such a positive turn. All the decent supporters of Palestine must call for an end of the armed resistance which equals a policy of suicide. How many Palestinians will die before a leader will end the suicidal armed resistance. This is not romantic, this is self-destructive. I would like to hear intellectual innovations from the educated friends of the Palestinians, and it will be the best medicine for their suffering. Best to all of you......an optimistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049415.post-24709435286388889542009-01-12T14:47:00.000+02:002009-01-12T14:47:00.000+02:00Thank you for your writing and in particular your ...Thank you for your writing and in particular your suggestions as to what to do to help the people of Gaza. As a British citizen I was confused at first as to what was going on in Gaza and began to suspect that the British media was not telling us everything, or at least not balancing it accurately. Having found out more about the truth, I am appalled at what the international community is complicit in and to realise the full extent the sanitisation and censorship of the British press. It's important that people in the West can access the full story; please keep writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049415.post-8152675288310995182009-01-09T17:47:00.000+02:002009-01-09T17:47:00.000+02:00I just watched one of your videos on youtube.

Like during the cold war they weren't fighting Fundamental Islamic terrorism - they claimed they were merely fighting Soviet terrorism. Meanwhile, they were bombing Palestinians in refugee camps. Not just in Palestine. But also in Syria, Lebanon, & Jordan.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for speaking out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049415.post-14005925973154121502009-01-08T12:59:00.000+02:002009-01-08T12:59:00.000+02:00Anna, I'm sorry to see you don't have more comment...Anna, I'm sorry to see you don't have more comments on your blog. I just wanted to let you know that your articles are making the rounds of mailing lists with members in the thousands who agree with what you've written. I wish you health, success, and strength to continue telling the story of Gazans that Israel so desperately wants to hide. <BR/><BR/>If, and when, the pro-Israeli lynch mob comes to find you with threats and hate then make a post online and we'll hide in our homes. Isn't it ironic that we'd draw parallels between the Nazis and Anne Frank to the Israelis and whoever they target next?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049415.post-19944234422027568172009-01-07T21:06:00.000+02:002009-01-07T21:06:00.000+02:00Anna, thank you for your writings.

I have been seeking a comprehensive source like this to help in my attempt to dialogue with those who won't accept how terrible the conditions were in Gaza during the ceasefire.<BR/><BR/>Terrible actions on both sides of course, but only one side is getting massacred, and with our weapons and money.<BR/><BR/>Peace means more than a lack of armed conflict, it means just relationships and social structures which don't cause oppression and strife.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this blog and your witness. We'll keep trying to get awareness raised and keep calling our representatives.<BR/><BR/>Peace friend!TC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249833142672637324noreply@blogger.com
