Palestinierna lider idag av världens största supermakts dubbelomoral, och dess valda ledares dubbelmoral. Nu är smekmånaden för Obama över, och han har visat sig vara ytterligare en av alla dessa presidenter som inte värnar för de svaga och utsatta.
Här är en palestinier som fått nog:

Lite utdrag från brevet:
"The whole world celebrated your election as the first African-American president of the US. I did not. Neither did the inhabitants of the concentration camp where I live. Your sympathetic visit to Sderot—an Israeli town which was the Palestinian village of Hooj until 1948 when its people were ethnically cleansed-- three years after your first visit to a Kibbutz in northern Israel in support of its residents, and after your pledge to be committed to the security of the Sate of Israel and its "right" to retain unified Jerusalem as the capital city of the Jewish people—to give but few examples—were all clear indications of where your heart lies."
"Your advisors must have told you about the cutting off of medicine, food and fuel to the concentration camp where I live. Patients in need of dialysis and other urgent medical treatment are dying every single day. A majority of our children, many the same age as your two beautiful daughters, are badly undernourished. You must have skimmed through the executive summary of the Goldstone report detailing the horror inflicted on 1.5 million civilians for 22 days, horror caused by F16s, Apache helicopters, and phosphorus bombs made in American factories. Hundreds of children were burnt to death by phosphorus bombs; pregnant women were brutally targeted in what Israeli soldiers boasted off on their T-Shirts: "1 bullet, 2 kills." And yet, not a single word of sympathy, Mr. President!"
"Unlike your predecessor, you seem to be a smart man. You must have realized that a two-state solution has been rendered impossible by Israeli colonization of the West Bank, by the war on Gaza, by the construction of the apartheid wall, by the expansion of so-called Greater Jerusalem, and by the increase in the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank. You must have realized also that there are 6 million refugees, most of whom live in miserable conditions waiting for courageous, visionary leaders committed to true democracy, human rights and international law to implement UN resolution 194. And yet, you and your State of Secretary, like every U.S. president since 1967, have decided to support Israel in creating conditions that made the two-state solution impossible, impractical and unjust."
"Our only immediate demand is that your administration insures that Israel fulfills its obligations in terms of international law. Is that too much to ask?"
