"just normality"??? so you're just going to say "oh well, nothing we can do because the lobbyists are too important to Obama..."??? Well, I must disagree. It's this kind of attitude that precludes any effectual change! Sorry, I know you are terribly distraught like the rest of us over the appalling crimes against Tristan and all Palestinians, ... See Moreand I genuinely mean no disrespect to you. Also, this "international community stand still" is NOT normal by any means..it's a blatant, pathological disregard for humanity, to say the least. This may be the common theme internationally, but let's be very clear about one thing: it is definitely not normal.

Normal is the outrage, pain, shock and grief we all feel about what's happened to Tristan...and the actions we are all taking, the support we are all giving..however small or big.

Thank God his American,,, They stopped, when they realized that he's not Palestinian. I disagree Lars the IDF are a maniac gang, the fact that they shoot an unarmed man in the first place makes them far worse then just maniacs. I am assuming that Tristan was unarmed, or am I wrong was he posing a threat, was he getting ready to launch a rocket or was he throwing stones?

Don't get me wrong I am so pleased to hear that he's ok they did not kill him, poor man. But sadly its been open season for decades, shooting dead Palestinian regardless to their age and sex. They fell between the cracks a long time ago, there is no law to protect them. There are more laws in America to protect animals and fish then there are in the world to protect Palestinians.

How many Aid workers have been killed by Israel so far? ... See More

Get well Tristan and be glad your not a Palestinian,
