Yesterday, I wrote about two letters, each written by American medical students; both addressed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The first letter, which accused only Israel of various crimes and failures, was published in The Lancet on January 12, 2009. The second letter, which alleged that the terrorist organization, Hamas, has itself committed the most heinous crimes against its own people, is about to be published in The Lancet as well. It, too, has rapidly been gaining medical student signatures.

Today, in Florida’s St Petersburg Times, I read an Associated Press piece. It is their major “World and Nation” story.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
