I think the ad on the bus was the wrong way to get the point across,lets divert 1% of what we are sending (my hard earned tax dollars) to Israel and re invest those funds into educating the children in our country along with some of the adults,this is a human rights issue that the american public chooses to ignore,I myself traveld to Israel to visit my husband family in Ramallah,I am a us born citizen and carry a us passport while my husband and I were at a check point on our way to church,believe it or not there is a catholic community there,we werent allowed past the check point because my husband who is a naturalized us citizen born in israel was denied crossing because as a "palestinian" he couldnt cross the check point without a newly issued palestinian passport,when I asked why his us passport wasnt good enough I was told "I wipe my a** with his us passport here it is useless,I shi* on this" so as a catholic not being able to attend mass its a violation of freedom of religion,so dont think its "the moslems against the jews"as catholics we are not treated equally there,and some of this is funded by the US,people forgot where the birth place of christ was, and the catholic communities who try to exist among the chaos are forgotten as well,and as long as we choose not to educate ourselves this will continue.

"AFDI/SIOA is one of America's foremost organizations defending human rights, religious liberty"

Are you seriously posting that rubbish? You're in essence condoning the persecution, oppression, discrimination, maltreatment of and disregards to the most basic of human rights to the Palestinian people by printing that this self proclaimed Anti-Muslim, Islamophobic, right wing Zionist organziation as being a group that "defends human rights" and "religious liberty" when the very foundations of this group is based on nothing less than sheer bigotry, facisim at its worst form and in the most twisted morbid description as being a group remotely concerned with "Human Rights" is pathetic...

Your paper is equally pathetic to allow for a blatantly racist completely Anti-Arab group to claim itself as being anything short of a racist right wing organization is beyond me. I pity all who think such as these people to not even allow themselves the slightest hint of human descency to look past the suffering of the countless Palestinian families left homeless by the countless illegal home demolitions of Palestinian homes. Just forget it, you are so disgusting I have no doubts this won't even make it on as a comment. Keep your racist subhuman Zionist propaganda to your inhumane deviant selves please!
