I’ll have plenty to say after another exiled Hamas leader frightens the world with fundamentalist rhetoric uttered because he believes Palestinians should not be subject to an economic blockade.

I’ll have plenty to say after Israeli Occupation Forces conduct a few more air raids and rob children of their mothers and fathers, their brothers and sisters, and turn them into martyrs for Palestine.

I’ll have plenty to say after another generation of radical Islamists is born from the aftermath of Israeli massacres in Gaza.

I’ll have plenty to say after another university or school is bombed.

I’ll have plenty to say after Livni or Barak or Rice or Bush emerge to blame the escalated conflict on Hamas rocket fire and claim there is no humanitarian crisis.

I’ll have plenty to say after the U.S. blocks another UN-backed ceasefire agreement on behalf of the state of Israel so the Jewish state can continue to exercise the state’s right to defend itself.

I’ll have plenty to say after more Dr. Mads Gilberts testify that hospitals are under-equipped with medics who have not slept for three or four days and who are seeing firsthand what happens when you keep the poor and the young in a cage like the Israelis have done.

I’ll have plenty to say after more Israeli tanks charge down the roads of Palestinian villages, take aim at a mosque, and effectively reinforce a father’s or mother’s fear that he or she cannot travel with his or her family to their place of worship safely.

I’ll have plenty to say after Palestinians who support Hamas use the tunnels to smuggle weapons so they will be able to fire back and defend themselves when Israeli imperialists begin to shell their homes.

I’ll have plenty to say after a few more bloggers post comments claiming Hamas is using civilians as human shields.

I'll have plenty to say after Israel blocks a hundred reporters from entering the devastated Palestinian Territories and prevents the world from knowing the truth about the terror Israelis and Palestinians are being subjected to.

I’ll have plenty to say after Israeli Occupation Forces fire off another round of white phosphorus shells---a chemical weapon---and cause horrific burns and severe injuries that will leave victims wishing they were dead and that few humans could bear to look at.

I’ll have plenty to say after Dennis Kucinich calls for another Congressional report on Israel’s illegal use of U.S. weapons, after Ron Paul issues another web video decrying U.S. intervention in the Middle East, after Ralph Nader writes another letter to Bush, and after Cynthia McKinney participates in another attempt with others to deliver humanitarian aid to those in Gaza.

I’ll have plenty to say after a billion more people around the globe watch the horror unfold on their television sets or through YouTube videos think thoughts of hate for one side or the other.

I’ll have plenty to say after another boy is photographed with missing limbs as he clings to the bosom of a weeping mother.

I’ll have plenty to say after ten thousand or more Palestinians drown in septic waste that has built up as a result of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
