"I am outraged by Bob Schieffer's remarks about Palestinians on Sunday's Face the Nation.

Not only did he blame Palestinians for Israel’s massacre of children in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip; he also would have viewers believe that Palestinians are deliberately encouraging these killings.

Here’s part of what Schieffer said: “The Palestinian people find themselves in the grip of a terrorist group that has embarked on a strategy to get its own children killed in order to build sympathy for its cause.”

With the death toll of Israel’s attacks on Gaza now nearing 1,100 people, including at least 229 children, I've seen innumerable heart-breaking pictures, videos and stories of Palestinians mourning the loss of their children.

Schieffer’s remarks are a deliberate attempt to shift the moral culpability from where it belongs—with Israel—to the victims, innocent Palestinian civilians. They attempt to dehumanize Palestinians in a vile and racist way by suggesting that they don’t love their children like other people and are thus undeserving of our sympathy and solidarity.

These comments are unacceptable from the anchor of a major network news program.

I demand that CBS fire Bob Schieffer. "

As to the lie of storing weapons in buildings, since the resistance has tunnels to store their weapons, there is no need to use buildings for storage. As to their pathetic weapons, they are no match for Israel's 21st Century missiles, DIME bombs, white phosphorous, drone killings, F16 jets, ad nauseum.

THIS IS GENOCIDE, being perpetrated by Nazi USA and Nazi Israel with our tax dollars, $6 billion annually going to Israel to make it the 4TH LARGEST MILITARY POWER IN THE WORLD. The Palestinian bows and arrows, known as glorified firecrackers, are no match, and the Zionists know it. That is why the demanded restoration of flights to Israel as they know Israel is not seriously threatened by these glorified firecrackers. So far, 3 Israeli civilians have been killed. Nazi Israel is a settler colony built on stolen land, just as Nazi USA is a settler colony built on stolen land, both of which were stolen for RESOURCES, today's prime profiteering resource being oil. The US military base in the Middle East called Israel exists to protect US oil profits in the Middle East. The latest resource field to be tapped are the Gaza offshore gas fields.
