As the world moves to lynch Israel again, the chidren of Africa continue to die and nobody in the entire world could give a rats ass. It is to important to keep an eye on Israel and to make sure they don't get to protect themselves. Thank god for the church that does help in Africa. Not any goverment. Shame on the world.
