Happy Anniversary, Gaza

will the Palestinian children of Gaza who get sicker by the day from drinking the polluted water (caused by the Israeli government’s Operation Cast Lead 2008-2009 bombing of Gaza, which obliterated the sewage system there, subsequently leaking poisonous anemia & cancer- causing nitrate levels into the water system, with a blockade still running that keeps the people of Gaza from having any access to clean water) remember, if they live to do so, the FREE ELECTION in 2006 when Hamas was brought into the government there, making both Israel & it’s big brother (whose attempt at overthrowing Hamas failed) just downright pissy? will the Palestinian children of Gaza who get sicker by the day, remember the temper tantrums thrown by big brother empire & its little arms warehouse in the middle east just because they didn’t get what they wanted (violating international law--- nothing new to either of them--- wrapping themselves around the tiny strip of land in order to further strangle the Palestinian people trying desperately to survive there)? how could they forget.
