Mary Brooks is absolutely correct in her letter of 30 July 2010 concerning the Gazans – Palestinians and Israel.
Israel is in fact an example of American foreign policy which is evil and criminal.
America keeps Israel ‘armed to the teeth' which enables them to act in the same manner as the Mafia and literally get away with murder when ever it pleases them.
The Palestinians on the other hand have become sitting ducks when using their ‘bows and arrows' when up against the latest and most sophisticated arms on earth supplied to Israel by America.
Both America and Israel are guilty as sin of crimes against humanity with regard to the Palestinians.
Back in time I had an enormous ‘Aoha' (compassion) for the Jewish peoples – now that ‘Aoha' is zero.
