Why does America refuse to admit that others are victim to the same forces of hatred and terrorism that attacked them ten years ago today? Worse yet, why does America continue to hide the fact that it is they who are orchestrating those very forces?

Ten years ago today America was attacked. Civilians died. Ten years later it is still making headline news….

Gaza is attacked every day. Civilians die every day. It never makes headline news in the West. It’s as if it never happens…. BUT IT DOES.

Dear America, your 9/11 is our 24/7.
Sincerely, Palestine.
That’s the entire post, short and very much to the point.

The Children Lose, Again
by Abby Zimet
A California museum has cancelled an exhibit of art by Palestinian kids in Gaza, reportedly after pressure from pro-Israel groups in the Bay Area.

The photos in THIS link speak volumes about that hatred… DON’T click on the link if you are weak at heart, they will make you sick!

Again, why does America refuse to publicise those photos? They represent the reality that Gazans have to live with every day of their lives. For Gazans, every day is 9/11.
