Information is power, it is said, and for a democracy to survive people need information as much as they need air. Wikileaks has been the channel for exposing dark secrets, and in response the first lights were turned on in Tunisia.
Following new information and Tunisia more lights are being turned on in Egypt and Yemen. Is there also hope for those in Saudi Arabia and — can one possibly breathe any hope for the Palestinians? Or with most of their leadership either murdered, incarcerated or Quislinged, that may be one candle too many.
The winds of change that have been sweeping across Latin America appear to have at last fanned a few flickerings in the Middle East too.
It’s a tense, but hopeful, time.

I think that the powerful nations of the world will allow Israel to terrorize Palestine, and will eventually allow Israel to slowing kill all the people of Palestine slowly over many years, and then simply take their land. It is sad, but it is how I see it happening.
If you notice, the USA prevents any nation from selling Palestine Tanks, War Planes, Ships of any of the items necessary for them to defend themselves from the attacks by Israel. The USA has told the world that they do not want Palestine to be able to fight back, and they support Israel being allowed to slowing kill all of the inhabitants of Palestine.

I see no difference between what is happening to the Palestinians and what was done to the North American Indians and the Australian Aborigines. According to U.N. definition that was genocide.
Did not know you existed.
Those hopeful flickering lights were well and truly extinguished.
