The US government won't pay attention to any of these protests because to do so lends credence to the view that human life has some value and Israel must be punished for killing 19 Muslins on a ship. The US can not afford to have the American people begin to think in these terms since the rampage by their Pentagon generals, in Afghanistan and Iraqi, have strewn the countries with more than a million dead and millions more maimed. No folks, America will not show any sympathy to the 19 Muslims killed by the Israelis.

@Kihnu: As an American I understand what you are saying. Please understand though that just because the US Govt is the enabler of the terrorist state of Israel doesn;t mean all of her citizens agree. I am many that I have spoken with are fed up with our support for Israel. It is my greatest hope that the time has come that the American people who oppose Israel (there are millions of us) will stand up to our governemnt and say NO MORE! Enough is enough and I for one will not support another dime in aid to Israel. It sickens me that our government is nothing more than a puppet to their Israeli masters. You have to understand though Kihnu that there are Israeli citizens who serve in our government. It is going to take us a long time to clean up this mess of zionism in our government but I have the confidence that soon we will. Make no mistake Kinhu the majority of Americans have had it with our support for Israel. Israel's days of support from the United States is coming to an end.

It's become a tradition for the US government to forgive Israeli terrorists, even if they kill American citizens. One can remember the deliberate attack on the US's Liberty warship by Israeli Defence Forces on June 8, 1967, when Israelis killed 34 Americans and wounded 171 others. Israel hasn't been punished for this crime. So, should we wait for any US's anti-Israel actions now?
