GAZA BOMBED, US MONEY FOR ISRAEL

Thank you SF Chronicle for putting on the same page two juxtaposing stories. (Tuesday July 30, 2014) “15 Killed as Israeli tanks shell school” is followed by the story of the U.S. Congress attempting to give $225 million more to support a missile defense package for Israel. Your placement of the story shows the incongruity and coldness of U.S. officials to the continuing poverty and alienation of the people of Gaza. The politically frightened and cowardly U.S. politicians just won’t stop supporting the Israeli government’s continuing policy of exclusion and domination of the Palestinians.
