This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Barack Obama stands condemned by all decent anti-racist, humanitarian people around the world for his cowardly and unprincipled "deafening silence" over the Gaza Massacre, the Palestinian Holocaust, the Palestinian Gaza Ghetto equivalent of the WW2 Warsaw Ghetto and the Palestinian Genocide (post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, 7 million refugees).

"Yes we can" has become a resounding, DEAFENING "no we can't" when it comes to gross Apartheid Israeli human rights abuses and war crimes (e.g. 400-500 Gazans murdered so far in Israeli reprisals for a total of 28 Israeli deaths from Gaza missiles in EIGHT YEARS (see List of Qassam rocket attacks ) .

Hardly surprising considering that Obama continues IGNORE the 1952-1960 Kenyan Holocaust which was associated with 1.1 million violent and non-violent avoidable Kenyan deaths under the racist, genocidal British (0.1 million Kenyans were killed by the genocidal, neo-Nazi British or otherwise died in custody in concentration camps; for details see Chapter 7, "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950" , G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: British killed 1.1 million Kenyans, 1952-1960 ).

Indeed Obama continues to IGNORE the British imprisonment and torture of his own father and grandfather (e.g. for an insight into Obama's disgusting, subservient and cowardly "re-writing" of his own family history see: Beatings and abuse made Barack Obama's grandfather loathe the British
The President-elect's relatives have told how the family was a victim of the Mau Mau revolt
).

      Obama is doing the right thing by remaining silent, there can be only one President in this country, and until he becomes the President, Bush is running the show.  Besides, his major focus should be, and probably will be on the problems we have within the continental US. Israel is handling the problem in the Gaza.  They don't need our help at the time.  Our alliance is with Israel not the Palestinians, hamas is a democratically elected authority, the majority of Palestinians at the very least support the actions of hamas and are aware of the fact that, hamas is a terrorist organization, among other things, and operates particularly against Israel and her allies.  Those very Palestinians that so many of us are crying about, are the same Palestinians who through the years have been shown on our news programs, protesting in the streets against the state of Israel, chanting death to Israel, and the US, burning our leaders in effigy, throwing rocks at Israeli troops, displaying weapons and waves of explosive clad suicide bombers, to include children who have been brainwashed from day one.  And now that Israel has attacked them with there military might, our media shows them looking sad and bewildered, as if they are the innocent.  Those same people elected hamas for many reasons, one of which was their common hatred for Israel and it's allies, and the continuing terrorism they would inflect against them and their allies.  Well don't fall for it America. I sure don't.  Islamic extremism is a growing decease, Islam is a growing religion, Islamic middle easterners are inhabiting areas of the world that are traditionally inhabited by those who are native to the area and are Christians, at a rate which is unprecedented.  Their influence in our media has become stronger as of late.  Don't be fooled America, our Alliance is with Israel now, and all ways will be.
