Israeli occupation forces murdered our friend Aqel Srur (age 35) yesterday in the nonviolent demonstration in Ni’lin the day after many people showed excitement about Obama’s "peace" speech without carefully analyzing it (see below).
Israelis get four-fifths of scarce West Bank water, says World Bank. Palestinians losing out in access to vital shared [sic] aquifer in the occupied territories

Obama's speech shows little real change. In most regards his analysis maintains flawed American policies

Yet, and as is expected people who are 98% supportive of Israel will be attacked for not being 100% supportive (remember the Pope’s visit?). So in this Video we see young people in Jerusalem express their opinions (this is not just revealing about Obama but about racism in general)

A Palestinian friend reacted to this footage thus: “Within the Palestinian Community, I can say that these attitudes translate into an evil apartheid system that has destroyed our communities and our livelihoods and that continues to perpetrate enormous violence on defenseless civilians. 80% of Israelis supported the recent bombing of Gaza, and that 80% support comes out of attitudes that are shown in this footage. These attitudes also explain how and why Avigdor Lieberman has risen to power in Israel today.”
"Israeli education ministry" worried about the few teachers who might (God forbid) let students know a tiny bit of the suffering of Palestinians http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/
