The pretext was a 'tip' that the school was storing weapons. No weapons were found, but the community was terrorized...."
"Sometimes I ask myself if Hitler wasn't right when he wanted to finish with that race, through the famous holocaust, because if there are people that are harmful to this country, they are the Jews, the Israelites." - David Romero Ellner, Executive Director, Radio Globo, Honduras, Sept. 25, 2009
