Israel, Jewish terrorists and extremism

On last year's Gaza war some 1500 Palestinians were killed including 300 children and many civilians Speaking on Israel's crimes against the Palestinians in Occupied Palestine (ie East Jerusalem or Al Quds in Arabic, West Bank and Gaza) is regarded as the ultimate taboo. Criticizing Israel justifiably by the way will get anyone labeled as Anti-Israel and Jewish or by default an Anti-Semite .

For nearly two weeks, the Sudanese people have been out in the streets in mass across Sudan protesting against the rickety, paranoid and brutal dictatorial government of the now President for Life Omar al Bashir. The protesters chanted, "bread, freedom and peace. " Others shouted " down with the dictatorship ." The ruling party NCP's headquarters were burned down in Atbara.

It is worth remembering that the current protests that began in the marginalized cities of Atbara north of the Sudanese capital Khartoum and El Gadarif in Southeast Sudan near the border with Eritrea, are not new protests. As been said before, the Sudanese have been protesting against the government for the past thirty years sometimes in silent and without fear.
