Five of Sderot's youngsters have traveled to Washington to explain the city's situation to the powers at be on Capitol Hill. The love, they say, was 'overwhelming'
The situation in Sderot got some unexpected attention over the weekend, courtesy of five of the city's residents, who were sent to the United States by the Foreign Ministry and the Jewish Agency.
The five met with American politicians, the media and leading members of the local Washington community on Capitol Hill Friday, and were, in their own words, 'overwhelmed' by the empathy shown to them.
"I thought we'd be criticized but all I found was understanding," 23-year old Itay Avitan told Ynet News.
Of course what would a person from the state of Israel expect from Washington who gives millions daily to Israel for the genocide of the people of Palestine while millions of American kids go without food, housing and even basic health care.
Of course these residents were received with open arms by American Politicians who are controlled by the Zionist Jewish Lobby of America. The question would be , would the people of Palestine ever receive such a welcome and Media Attention about their suffering at the hands of Israel.
