US should be impartial
We are stunned by the belligerent attitude of Israel, after invading an aid carrying ship in the international water, killing nine people and injuring many, it has no regrets, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu clearly stated he won't apologize for the incident.
People all over the world are watching and expressing condemnation over this heinous act, how could a small country like Israel defy the world? But it is no secret, Israel knows that it can get away with anything because it has got the blessings of the United States.
US Vice President Joe Bidden has said that Israel has not done any wrong by attacking the ship, we did not expect this from him.
When Barack Obama, the Senator from Illinois got the presidential nomination we became very happy and prayed for him because he seemed to be a kind, wise and understanding person, the opposite of G.W. Bush. He talked about change, his slogans were "change we need" and "Yes, we can". Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States, and our hopes soared believing he would not remain indifferent to other countries, and as a superpower, America has to intervene and stop any wrong doing.
But now we are dismayed because Israel has not become subdued by the new administration, the Palestinians are suffering in their hands as before, there is no respite for them.
We request US President Barack Obama not to remain indifferent to this issue.
