I had no idea he was abducted. The guy is fearless and I'm glad he's back home safe.

choked and kicked in the legs by seven Israeli soldiers and showed visible signs of violence on his neck and back.

Just enraging. I will say that there appears to have been a major shift the past week with a number of leaders (e.g. Obama, Hillary) in acknowledging the starvation crisis in Gaza. I'm guessing it happened after the two Israeli organizations came out and said it.

Still need more though. I need everyone to demand cutting off aid to Israel. We'll never see them admitting it's a genocide, however. They have to preserve their integrity.

No amount of statements about palestinians civial will make me forget that they supported and still support israel. Obama gave a 36 billions deal before leaving office

Absolutely. They are all complicit.
