Sir Kaufmann, a British and Jewish Member of the English Parliament, describes what Israel does as State Terrorism. Hearing what happens in Gaza and Palestine reminds me of the holocaust and other heinous atrocities in history. Are we in the 21th century? Why do moderate Jews of the world oppose Israel's disgraceful policies while the US administration adopts the position of the eternal and unconditional support for Israel politically, economically and militarily and never denounce Israel? This is a mystery to me. The US outdoes itself and the rest of the civilized world in terms of civil rights and freedoms and continues to uphold its esteem as the world's brightest beacon of liberty. Nevertheless, when it comes to the Middle East policies from wars in Iraq, Afganistan, Pakistan to Palestinian oppression, it is a taint!
