The Israelis and the Palestinians continue their death dance of retribution, locked in the grip of each other's hatred, unable to let go.
The Israeli Defense Force has launched a massive air assault on Gaza, destroying all of the police stations in Gaza. The attack was in retaliation for Hamas rocket attacks on southern Israel over the past week, when an Egyptian-brokered truce expired.
Israel labeled the police stations as “terrorism infrastructure," and claimed that over 150 of the dead were Hamas militants. But we know from long experience that Israel is very good at justifying its actions by using words to cloak its deeds. There are civilians, including children, known to be among the Palestinian dead.
Goliath (Israel) continues to beat the shit out of David (Palestine), and the United States continues to fund the whole thing. Who's making money here? One guess: The arms merchants, who supply both sides.
Now Hamas is vowing revenge. The spilling of blood on both sides will continue to escalate.
When does the death spiral end?
And when do we, the U.S. taxpayers, stand up and say we won't finance this bullshit anymore?
