It's past time to stop arming, aiding Israel  E-mail

Israel: Flexing American muscle

January 14, 2009

Ten days into the new year, 12 people had already lost their lives to violence on the streets of Baltimore.

By contrast, according to figures on the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs Web site, it took from mid-July 2005 until the end of December 2008 - 3 1/2 years - before the same number of civilians in Israel were killed by rockets, mortars and sniper fire from Gaza.

Israel, with open encouragement from the U.S., has reacted by slaughtering hundreds of innocents and by attacking aid organizations that embody the principle that people of all nationalities have equal worth. This is madness.

The U.S.-supported Israeli campaign against Gaza violates international humanitarian law, causes justified outrage throughout the world and, tragically, sows the seeds of future violence against Americans and Israelis.

Israel could not continue on this course without the arms and dollars it gets from the United States. It is long past time for the U.S. to stop arming Israel and instead to support a cease-fire, an end to the blockade of Gaza and the implementation of the many U.N. resolutions that establish the rights of the citizens of Israel, the original Palestinian inhabitants of land now part of Israel, and the Palestinian inhabitants of the occupied territories.
