All nations have the right to defend themselves and the obligation to protect the civil and human rights of their denizens, all nations including Israel. Ignoring the rights of Palestinians she has crossed the line. Israel has blockaded Gaza, one of the poorest places in the world, from aid. She allows free movement for Israelis within her borders but restricts the movement of Palestinians. She encourages settlements in the West Bank that have been declared illegal by the United Nations and the State Department as they violate Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Now she moves to enforce "Palestinian Only" busing that all too eerily emulates the actions of apartheid. She is not evil, but nor is she respecting of American principles. Denounce her abusive, oppressive, actions.
