The rest of this correspondence is addressed to the other recipients referred to above and the government generally.

Flotilla assault serves to isolate Israel

20-06-2010 07:23

Israel's brutal nature is comprehensibly evident to everyone. The independent nations of the world in Asia, Africa and Latin America know well that Israel's existence is blended with inhumanity and violence.
