The Emptiness

Israel and the Geneva conventions

As in breach of, mockery of, yet again.

"The government can go to hell. Europe boycotts us and the United States are against our democracy. The Palestinians are in a big jail and the Israelis have the key"

Anyway, they're quite cheap and well stocked.
