I can't do much at the moment from my home in Ohio, but just wanted you all to know we stand with you and are thinking about you.

Also, fuck the police.

Free Palestine!

Both sides should be tries at the hague. Both, not just one. After Palestinians have their freedom. That's the only way justice can be achieved in this mess.

You do know the only reason the walls/borders are militarised is due to Palestine and their infitada bullshit?

Israel built the barrier in June 2002, at the height of the second intifada/uprising, when Palestinians carried out scores of suicide bombings and other attacks that killed Israeli civilians. Authorities said the barrier was designed to prevent attackers from crossing into Israel from the West Bank and was never intended to be a permanent border.

They don't want freedom, they want the complete removal of the Israeli state.

How do you reconcile that?

You do realize the West Bank (and Gaza until 2006) has been under Israeli military rule since 1967 right? The problem is much older than the second Intifada and much bigger than a bunch of checkpoints on a border.

So setting aside how the war was with Egypt, not Palestine, occupied people still have a right to resist against their occupiers. If you have a problem with that take it up with the UN. And this is before getting into the whole human rights violations and Apartheid thing.
