Too few people understand the truth pertaining to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Governments need to take responsibility for education. The greater the understanding, the greater the empathy for Palestine. The media needs to get a backbone and report the truth. Everyone seems to be under Apac's thumb globally. Even Obama backed down when the Israeli Prime Minister came to town.
