i believe NIHAC is not for such postings, however:

i agree with beth and nadia. i would like to add one little detail to
what beth said, Sharon and those like him, who inspire terrorist acts
against humanity, should be treated as war criminals by international law
as well. another detail, is a nation, a whole population, could not be
denied its legitimate right to defend itself, to be free to
live, work, go to school and just be. peace, Amineh.

persecute people for trying to defend their lives which are being squashed by
illegal settlers.
