todo el mundo quiere saber dónde estaba Mazón--me da igual. Lo importante es donde NO estaba: haciendo su trabajando y salvando las vidas de los que murieron por su negligencia criminal- no entiendo como sigue en libertad, mucho menos gobernando

La zona de exclusión es ILEGAL ya que se ha establecido por un estado que está ocupando ilegalmente el territorio Palestino

¡No abandones la Flotilla! Las actuaciones de Israel son ILEGALES y vuestro deber bajo la ley internacional es proteger no solo a los españoles abordo pero a los que sufren en Gaza. Cualquier otra opción es complicidad

El mundo entero os está mirando

So in Denmark they do this thing, where they issue you loans to pay your property tax and charge you interest. When you never asked for the loan. So then you have to call and say I don't want a loan I just want to pay my tax. And then you have to call again. And so on. How is this legal? A mystery.

How is a wanted war criminal allowed to address the UN? He belongs in jail. Bravo to all who walked out. Shame, shame, on all those who invited him and who support genocide.
