U.S. complicity and support for the massacre of innocent civilians in Gaza by Israel must come to an end. U.S. taxpayers donate upwards of 3 billion bloodstained dollars yearly to supply Israel with the F-16 bombers and Apache attack helicopters that are currently being utilized to “teach Hamas a lesson” more for political gain that Israeli security or protection.
This has resulted in an unbearable humanitarian crisis and an assault that violates international law by targeting civilians. For the Palestinian people deprived decade after degenerating decade of work, food, basic freedoms, and any semblance of a future, the heinous and disproportionate nature of this attack is yet another horror they must attempt to endure.
Every human life has value, and more than any other nation Israel should know the truth of this statement. Still the carnage continues and the bodies keep piling up under the current warmongering U.S. administration and UN impotence.
Furthermore, to those local church-goers brandishing your “Support Israel” bumper stickers: You should be ashamed, as your sentiments only support the maiming and killing of innocent and defenseless Palestinian children.
