Die free now...or die later a staving prisoner

Dozens of Gaza's Palestinians chose death by a bullet to the head or heart this morning at the hands of Israeli sharpshooters, rather than wait for the slow death as a starving prisoner in the world's largest open air prison that is Gaza.

For the eight time in 7 weeks they put their bodies in front of bullets to protest the grotesque, inhuman treatment at the hands of their jailers in Israel's Likud Party. The death toll since March 30 approaches a hundred, with thousands more wounded.

The world reacts in horror everywhere except Washington, London, Paris, Riyadh and a few others that condone likely the most cruel horror being perpetrated on a powerless people by the all powerful.

As the Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano so aptly put it:
"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees."
