Meanwhile, victims of the Israeli military offensive into Gaza that occured exactly a year ago are still living in horrific conditions and awaiting justice. This is despite the fact that the UN Human Rights Council, after investigating, issued a report in September 2009 which concluded that both the Israeli military forces and Palestinian armed groups committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity. http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/10918
Why do we as a nation continue to give billions of dollars each year to Israel (most in the form of Military aid) without requiring that they conform to the rules of human rights and civil rights that we claim to uphold?
