Shaun King – The people of the world support Palestine. Its the politicians that are in the way

			I'm not discouraged because I saw a poll
		

			recently that said that almost 99% of
		

			American senators have not called for a ceasefire.
		

			But almost 70% of Americans, the people,
		

			do want a ceasefire.
		

			That's from both political parties.
		

			That's from almost every racial group, ethnic group,
		

			nationality, faith, religion.
		

			So what we see around the world, not
		

			just in the United States, is an enormous
		

			divide between the masses of people and the
		

			leaders that have either been elected or appointed.
		

			And there is an extreme disappointment, not just
		

			for me, they expected somebody to show up.
		

			They thought some government, some country, some organization,
		

			some international body, a neighbor.
		

			They thought someone would intervene.
		

			I have seen fathers and mothers with pieces
		

			of their children crying to the camera saying,
		

			naming by name, leaders saying, where are you?
		

			How could you leave me here?
		

			I can't imagine the despair of enduring so
		

			much violence every day and starting to wonder
		

			is it true that no one is going
		

			to show up?
		

			And I think leaders all around the world
		

			should be ashamed.
		

			I am ashamed for them.
