...and not to forget, I live in Palestine

I am SO ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED BY ISRAEL'S ACTIONS THIS PAST WEEK. In case the US media has not been covering it, a young Palestinian man was shot in the face and killed by a tear gas canister when protesting an Israeli settlement taking over his village's land. It was a peaceful protest (it always is), inspired by Ghandi.

The Israelis then shot him - this is the most INSANE part. "Israeli military officials have been largely unapologetic for the death, releasing pictures of a sling they said was found on Mr Tamimi's body as evidence that the dead man had thrown stones." So if you throw stones they get to kill you? What, if you stick your tongue out, they only get to maim you?

More detail here if you want to read about it. It's so flipping sad. Oh, this place, this place.
