Dear Editors,
Gaza is under attack by Israel, the 4th largest military power in the world. American-made F-16 jets are bombing cities in the 25-mile long strip (comparable to Vancouver from I-5 to Cape Horn). 1.5 million civilians live there under Israeli siege, denied even most food and medicines.
The Hamas ceasefire that ended December 19 was unilateral. It was never reciprocated by Israel: 1300 Palestinians were killed in Gaza since June 2006 by the Israeli army. Now there are 1500 Gazans dead.
Please do not talk of homemade rockets (pipe bombs) that have killed 12 Israelis in the past 8 years. They are a war crime by desperate people, whose freedom has been denied for 41 years. Talk instead about our tax dollars to Israel ($10 million a day) and the use of American weapons against a civilian population. That is a huge war crime, and we are responsible.
Sincerely,
[Full Name]
Camas, WA
