   Ahni, forgiveness if I will have errors,
   I will strive for you.
   Sweet,
   you apparently perplexed,
   I write you this letter for there won’t be misunderstandings,
   Israel is the victim!!!
   During 8 the recent years that we Israel,
   the Jews and not only sufferers are ripe/due to bombardments
   that they are launchers to us, 8 years! 8 years day in and day out.
   And even several on day,

   Babies, children, adults,
   all of us suffered and not reverted to them,
   this that/because our state Yshra to her fear from the reaction of the world.
   People feared to go out from the houses,
   little children already know what
   need to do when that/because there is an alarm then consumption
   to flee to the shelters, why?
   Why we 8 years suffered and we standardized?
   And when now we answer to them we are guilty?

   Why that when our suffering of no One and
   not helped us and not said his opinion
   like that you you did in response yours on the matter,
   where were that girl in the age 12 defense with corpse in her brothers that is little
   and absorbed all the debris and is killed there there/instead of/!!!!
   Where used to/would that kidnapped us soldier???
   He already two Years and half situated there,
   and his family cry day in and day out hour of hour. Where?
   Why now all the world of judge us?

   Where were that our suffering?
   This is our fear to go out to the clubs is this that/because which suicide bomber
   of the Hammas is normal for / used to/would arrive and kills hundred!!!!!
   Where?
   This is my mother is not permit
   me to cost in the buses that/because every day almost there was a bomb attack of the Hammas,
   why we need that to continue will be silent? This is our state!!
   Country Israel is pure! The hallowed! Where were?
   That were killed us so many?
   Why we need these are that afraid to go out to the outside?

   Hope from today,
   before will write something or will say.
   Clarity work, this that/because the communication shows you only 10% from the things that pass on us,
   day in and day out. I did not write everything that passes on us that/because
   I find it hard with the language but really that this only a little compared
   with what happens and passes on us! Lookout to the apology,

   Thank you

   Annie Lennox is a stupid cow. Noone here cares about her. What we do cared about is a relentlessly succesful Hamas propaganda machine which puts out anti Israeli crap every day and fills oridinary people’s heads with one sided rubbish every day which painst Israel in a harsh light. Still. More than 5000 people came out today in London. Another rally was held against the pro Hamas twits last week. But still we are aligned with the small voices of our media and a bunch of hard left wingnuts who represent nothing more than student union bars to whom the likes of the faded aged old bat Lennox appeal.

   Annie:
   I wonder where people like you were when my grandparents were murdered with 6 million of their brothers, sisters and chidren by the Nazis????
   That wasn’t a two week “outrage”, but one that lasted 6 years.
   And where were you for Darfur?
   Or Szebrenica?
   Or Tibet?
   You and your rent-a-crowd of ‘usefulidiots’ are just plain and simple anti-Semites.
   In bashing Israel you’ve found a politically-acceptable way to vent your plain and simple racism.

   Annie Lennox’s statement to the press relating to the Gaza war is surprising by its total disregard for Israeli suffering.
   Israelis have had to submit to hundreds of terrorist attacks, ie. attacks against their civilian population for over 40 years now. In a recent eight day period, 300 missiles were sent into Israel with missiles at times hitting southern cities, towns and villages. The constant psychic toll of never knowing if a missile will claim you is a staggering demand to make of any individual.

   As Canadian Nobel prize for literature nominee, Irving Layton once put it, “Why should they be expected to sit there like clay ducks in a shooting gallery?”

   And as we speak of Canada, Canada has not been hit even once by a terrorist attack and yet it has enacted legislation that allows for “security certificates”, ie. the right of Canadian enforcement agencies to detain and charge anyone suspected of planning to commit a terrorist act, without them knowing what the charges are. If Canada can go that way without even one attack, surely Israel has the right to properly defend itself considering the kind of long history it has had to endure relating to attacks against its civilian population.

   The war in the Falklands was a British war over a wisp of a land mass in the middle of nowhere in the Atlantic over a very questionable British possession. In effect the war was fought for ego reasons alone, but approx. 300 Argentinian sailors were blown out of the Atlantic by the British navy. Where was Annie Lennox? Did she protest? In contrast Israel is fighting for the survival of its population and its towns and villages.

   Is part of the truth that: Annie Lennox knows who’s buttering her bread in the U.K. ; that it’s ok to kick the Israelis but that to keep one’s nose clean in Britain is imperative. I checked Ms. Lennox’s website forum sub-section, “Activism”. Actually her scope for activism is puzzlingly restricted for someone so vocal and passionate in her attack against Israeli force. There ’s not a sign of any activism to fight British Petroleum, known to be not only corrupt in its predation but a company with one of the world’s worst pollution records (which other Brits have protested); or British presence in Iraq (incl. abuses) (which other Brits have protested); or the refusal by British museums to allow for repatriation of iconic heritage cultural art treasure heirlooms by the African countries of origin , from whom they were stolen during days of “Empire”(which other Brits have protested).

   Although Ms. Lennox is a Scotswoman, it’s clear she has been infected by English sanctimonious finger pointing hypocrisy, and is cow-towing to it.

   Alexie Sayle (an English Jew), Harold Pinter (an English Jew), and Annie Lenox ( a woman married to an Israeli )have all needed to “make penance” for the sins of Israel. They have no need to make pennance for days of Empire. Neither Sayole or Pinter or Lennox have ever protested BBC TV drama programming that glorifies the days of the British Empire, an Empire that enslaved hundreds of thousands of Africans , that pillaged their resources and art treasures and hung signs on their whiskey cocktail lounges saying, “No entrance to natives”.
   They make penance while Israelis wonder where and when the next missile is coming.
   What I’m really ranting about is not her expression of compassion for Gazans. That’s totally understandable. It’s her Calvinist dualist view that makes her blind and does not allow her to stand up at the same news conference and show some compassion for the Israeli side.
   Yes, I confess that though Ms. Lennox is an admirable artist, I will NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE any of her recordings.
