“This Is Your Money”: Palestinian Father Pleads with Americans to Stop Funding Israeli Aggression --- [video, 9 min + transcript] ( www.democracynow.org )

As the overall death toll from Israel’s 27-day bombardment tops 9,000, Fadi Abu Shammalah of Just Vision, an NGO based in Israel-Palestine and the US, tells about his family’s experiences on the ground as the besieged territory runs out of water, food and fuel. “We have only one thing: that we are being killed,” says Shammalah, who calls for Americans to “keep going” in demonstrations for Palestinian rights. “We are being killed by your taxes.”

I just don’t understand it. How is Israel getting away with bombing refugee camps? Like seriously? How does that not earn an immediate smackdown from every world power? I mean, I already know the answer, but it’s still mind boggling to me nonetheless.

Thats the thing about taxes…they arent a choice…unfortunately. If i chose how my taxes were spent I’d be damn sure not to allow Israel to have one red cent, i can tell you that.
