¿The Outrage?
Where has all the outrage gone? Where is all the fight? Where are the human right activitists? The orange ribbon wearers? The hard right? The soft left? I don't think it matters if you are for or against pullouts, if you think there should or should not be checkpoints, or if you think this is or isn't a racist country. A city filled with innocent civilian people are being shelled. Everyday. The most I've heard about this is from Sky News. Sky News had the decency to devote almost 10 minutes to discuss the rockets, the people, the mayor, the citizens, the children, the schools, the streets, the homes, and the hopelessness in Sderot. The city shut itself down today, and subjected itself to a self-induced black-out. The black-out was disturbed by a rocket hitting the city. ROCKETS. SHELLS. Where are the country-wide demonstrations?

Well, channel 2 has devoted a lot of news minutes to the story. However, you are totally right. I heard that they're also planning on doing mass protesting in Jerusalem. I assume that if that happens, there will be mass protests there. I don't know why there isn't more outcrys. The only way I can see is that the citizens of Sderot are right. They're not a major city. If it was Rananna or Tel-Aviv, people would be out in droves. That's sick and twisted, isn't it?

So you want to talk about the matzav in Sderot
How do you get people to come hear something they feel is not important?
How do you avoid preaching to the converted?
What's the answer you have? / What do you want people to do?
Part of the issue is we have become complacent.
Complacent! I don't think so. I think we have become numbed. Completely different.
