Criticism of Israeli policies is not anti-semitic.
I do not add anti-semitic pages.

Kill Zone
It is not possible in the space of this page to adequately describe the horrendous conditions the Israelis have forced upon the people of Palestine. Ninety-eight percent of their land has already been taken. The meager land they have left is a wasteland littered with the wreckage of war.There are hundreds of Israeli military checkpoints that prevent normal travel. Children must pass through checkpoints between home and school. There are checkpoints between home and job - for the few who still have jobs. Joblessness is now greater than 65% and still rising. There are checkpoints that must be passed between home and hospital. But safe passage through these checkpoints is never assured. Whether they are allowed to pass is subject to the whim of whichever Israeli soldier is on duty.
The Palestinians are a beautiful, friendly people from whom every human right has been stripped. They have no protection under the law, and all of Palestine is the kill zone.
Iman Hams
On the morning of Oct. 5, Iman Hams, a slight girl of 13 wearing a school uniform and toting a backpack crammed with books, wandered past an Israeli military outpost on the Gaza Strip's southern border with Egypt.
The Israeli captain on duty alerted his troops to reports of a suspicious figure about 100 yards from the outpost. Soldiers fired into the air.
"It's a little girl," a soldier watching from a nearby Israeli observation post cautioned over the military radio. "She's running defensively eastward. ... A girl of about 10, she's behind the embankment, scared to death."
Four minutes later, Israeli troops opened fire on the girl with machine guns and rifles, the radio transmissions indicated. The captain walked to the spot where the girl was lying and fired two bullets from his M-16 assault rifle into her head. He then started to walk away, but pivoted, set his rifle on automatic and emptied his magazine into the girl's prone body.
"This is Commander," the captain said into the radio when he was finished. "Whoever dares to move in the area, even if it's a 3-year-old – you have to kill him. Over."

Wake up, America!
We are witnessing the destruction of a nation of kind, gentle people who have been driven to the uttermost extreme of desperation. Do their lives have no value at all?Now, let's do something. Let's make this stop. Write your congressmen. Tell them to stop funding Israel and to support a two-state solution to the conflict wherein the Palestinians have a viable, contiguous nation.
But let us not be naive. Writing letters will not solve this issue. It will help. But we must also educate ourselves and vote for candidates who advocate justice and fairness. Our vote is our primary weapon against injustice. We must learn to use it wisely, with clear thought and understanding.
