a democratically elected head of state, and the world says nothing.
Does anyone find this ironic given the way the west is trying to export democracy around the world, and also given Israels actions are to its to save ONE kidnapped soldier even though Israel kidnaps or kills palestinians pretty much every week (this week it has kidnapped ONE THIRD of the palestinian cabinet for example).
Not exactly a pleasant topic, but I am left asking myself how long the situation in the middle east will be left to fester before the world actually sits up, takes notice and does something meaningful about it?

Please be sensitive to the feelings of others (such as supporters of Israel).
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceYou might want to consider asking another poster to be your "civility buddy" and to preview your posts before you submit them.
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob
PS: I'm trying out a new system:
previous block: 4 weeks
period of time since previous block: 13 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: yes
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: no
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: noIf we take 13 weeks, divide by 10, and round down, that's a reduction of 1 week. If we apply that to your previous block, that's 4 - 1 = 3 weeks. And if we triple that, that's 9 weeks.

TJ,
I regret that this discussion about the invasion of Gaza had to end with a block. It's important.
warm regards, Jake
