16. •Why didn’t you get out to the streets fighting for peace in Africa,
in Southeast Asia, in Latin America?
•Why didn’t you demand your government to cut relationships
with so many genocide states?
•Why didn’t you boycott Indonesian, Cambodian, Congolese,
Serbian or Rwandese products?
•In each of these countries thousands of “Gazas” happened
while you comfortably watched the news without turning a hair.
•What’s so special about Israel?
There are still bloody conflicts in the world.
If you want to fight for peace,
act consistently.
