Thanks to Gary Kamiya for illustrating, in such a compelling way, the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of both U. S. and Israeli justifications for the invasion of Gaza.
The Canadian Governments response to the slaughter of Palestians hasn't been much better. The moral high ground has, apparently, been lost in Canada's unwillingness to risk angering Jewish voters in any way.
Yes, Israel has the right to protect itself. But the scope of its response to limited range rocket attacks is over the top.
I am tired of television footage of Israeli tanks, planes and helicopter gunships bombing Gaza back to the stone age. And I am even wearier of hearing the daily statistics of casualties and pictures of Palestinian children torn apart by Israeli bombs.
A challenge for President Elect Obama, indeed!
