Finally, Olmert confirmed what I have mentioned over a months ago about the increase of military AID to racist Israel. But the smell of death does not stop there. US also announced that it will increase military SALES to some Arab regimes.

The following shocking testimony is a sample of what an uprooted Palestinian face if s/he wish to return home, Palestine.
