[R-P] Hay al menos seis yanquis decentes

[Gorojovsky]

Seis norteamericanos atrapados en un campamento de refugiados palestinos han 
rechazado la oferta de su cónsul, que les ofrecía una vía de escape. Al mismo 
tiempo emiten una declaración (en inglés) que sigue aquí abajo.

La declaración, que es impecable, termina con estas sencillas palabras:

"No tenemos deseo ni predisposición para morir, pero no nos haremos los tontos 
ante la complicidad que existe entre los gobiernos norteamericano e israelí en 
su intento de destruir al pueblo palestino."

Gente seria.

Compañeros del exercito de los Andes. 

...La guerra se la tenemos de hacer del modo que podamos: 
sino tenemos dinero, carne y un pedazo de tabaco no nos 
tiene de faltar: cuando se acaben los vestuarios, nos 
vestiremos con la bayetilla que nos trabajen nuestras mugeres, 
y sino andaremos en pelota como nuestros paisanos los indios: 
seamos libres, y lo demás no importa nada...

Jose de San Martín, 27 de julio de 1819.
