This is just one more way of depriving Palestinians. They continually harass them in one way or another. There are too many other countries helping Israel. Seems to me there are too many who are not aware of day to day living of Palestinians. They are not terrorists as Israel has painted them, they are victims of a cruel regime.
If anyone is the terrorist state it is Israel http://wp.me/p4271-1ph
They even exploit migrant workers. http://wp.me/p4271-1wT They treat people with total disrespect. Israel fails absolutely in the Human Rights. In weapons however they do just fine http://wp.me/p4271-1wZ Interfering in another countries businesses they do just fine as well. http://wp.me/p4271-1w9
