I fully expect to be flamed...

After viewing those images, I noticed that there were obese Israelis (especially the one on his cell phone while sitting in a shelter) but only malnourished looking Gazans.

I have long objected to our funding of Israel and our government's acceptance of the excuses for violence against Palestinians. My great-grandfather was a rabbi who survived the holocaust, he would be appalled by what is and has been taking place in that place. I have no genuine positive regard for Israel or it's favored population. I do wish I could dictate what my tax $$ are used for... Israel wouldn't even be on the list. Perhaps it would best if it didn't exist at all given the outcome of manufacturing an alleged "homeland" for this group of people.

It is yet another travesty of our nation for allowing/facilitating this overt ethnic removal to become the norm.
