UN FINDS ISRAELI INTERCEPTION OF FREEDOM FLOTILLA ILLEGAL AND CONDEMNS THEIR ACTIONS

 After the shootings on the Mavi Marmara the White House and some legislators kept repeating this statement, “The Israelis have the right to defend themselves”, really? Isn’t it interesting that only some countries have the right to defend themselves while others don’t? I was also told they had “secret information” they could not reveal. Come on. 

Of course the government has all of the forensic evidence and they know the truth. They just sat on the evidence and kept quiet. Now, what would have happened if another country such as Venezuela or Iran had done the same thing Israel did?

Now, the FBI is investigating Palestinian groups in the United States. This sounds like an information gathering mission. Perhaps they are trying to come up with some "secret information". Are we already living in a police state? We have the right to our political beliefs, our political actions even if they are not what the White House wants us to do as long as we do not violate laws. Look at the Tea Partiers and some of their crazy threats. It seems certain people are allowed civil rights in this country, yet others are not.
