We cannot pretend that the responsibility for the ongoing genocide in Palestine rests solely on Israel. The bombs used and the airplanes that dropped them, as well as the tanks and ammo, are all gifts courtesy of our tax dollars, making every single American taxpayer culpable.

Do I hear you saying that the lives of 186,000 Palestinians (latest international estimate) is less important than the lives of "5 million" virtual victims of a conflict yet to happen?
