"Some 100 Palestinians and peace activists launched a one-month campaign at the West Bank Sunday, titled '30 days against the roadblocks'.

Inspired by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to the area, some of the protesters chose to convey their message in an original way and dressed up as native-Americans."

"The demonstration was organized by a group called 'Palestinians for Peace, Dialogue and Equality'.

The protesters also criticized the difficulties created by the checkpoints, and the limitations they impose on the Palestinians' freedom of movement.

One of the signs at the protest read, "The roadblocks are ruining the Palestinians' lives," while another poster aimed to juxtapose between the native-Americans, whose lands were stolen by the newcomers from Europe, and the Palestinians."

1. The irony is

I've seen here and other places a few Israeli's try to justify they're treatment of Palestinians by pointing out the history between whites and Native Americans, do these people realize that both Hitler when coming up with the "final solution" and the framers of apartheid in South Africa took their cues from that same history?
