The Massacre in Palestine and the Threat of a Wider War

Yet another Israeli led and U.S. backed massacre is taking place as the world watches in horror. The western media, is desperately trying to peddle the puny rockets of Hamas as bullying, does journalistic back flips in avoiding the utter carnage brought down by the much more powerful –U.S. made and paid for—Israeli missiles.

In an effort to target Hamas, the Israeli military has massively bombed over 300 sites and counting, including a five story building that was demolished at a university campus. As of this writing, 391 Palestinians have been officially counted as dead with nearly 2000 wounded. The number of dead is certainly undercounted, as bodies still lie under mountains of rubble (the number of dead Israelis is five). To say that only “Hamas militantsâ€

On some level, I know why this is happening, but it is beyond me why we let a hand full of people keep getting us into war after war after war. Why we continue to let these people mess up our world. Why we seem to follow blindly. We let a handful of people bankrupt us and make us pay for it. We let a handful of people debase our constitution and we stand by and LET them do it as if we had nothing to say about it. We let a handful of people make the most important decisions about our future. WE allow them to take our money at will. They can start a new program, say that it will not be taxed and then a few years later just need to tax it. They can just raise them without our consent. The illegals can march in out streets screaming for rights they don't deserve while we sit by and watch it. I know that on sites like this we can vent our frustrations, but do the leaders of these sites ever confer with each other and help to set up rallies so we can show enforce? Just like I always wondered why every cancer charity didn't come together. Pooling their resources would make them stronger. I wonder why all of the closed border sites or organizations didn't come together sometines and join forces to set up rallies for all of the organizations and there would be more people. I know there have been rallies, but they are put on by one organization and I think it would help show force, if all of the same thinking organizations would participate. The mexicans I know only have one idea they are fighting for while we have many. We are figthting for the very survival of our country. WE only are going to have a small window of time to take our country back.
We need to organize with other groups like ours and show force. Just a few thousand here and there ain'tg going to do it. Just a thought.

The shame is we have to fight on so many levesl it seems impossible to handle. I think we need to first fight the illegals, then go from there bacause keeping and eye on our borders and people coming in here without own knowledge shold be our first priority, then we can work on the other stuff without foreign interferance. We have many smart people in this country that have probably come up with a way to track immigrants and visitors that come to this country. They may or may not be in our government, but someone knows how to do this.
