I had the pleasure of speaking at the recent Palestine memorial week in London. It was on the first anniversary of that evil attack on Gaza during "Operation Cast Lead" in 2008/9. What I found incredible after my presentation was the total lack of knowledge and understanding of some of the main issues concerning Gaza and West Bank.

Last but not least was the mother of all crimes when the IDF used weapons containing uranium components on the residents of Gaza and continue to do so. These weapons were imported from the US under a Presidential approved agreement. I may also add at this point that Israel's own IMI also manufacture such weapons
