Israel’s brutality is not justified

Now I hear that Israel has boarded two more aid ships headed to Gaza. I fail to see how the Gazans receiving food and medicine is a threat in any way to Israel’s survival.

Also, Israel’s actions create more enemies toward the United States as we provided the boats and helicopters that Israel used. Add on the lobby-forced American veto of U.N. condemnation of Israel that will regretfully take place.

The Israelis always bring up the suffering brought upon the Jewish people throughout history yet they have no qualms about inflicting suffering on others! Well then, I will have no respect for their claims of persecution as a justification for Israel’s own brutality.
