Israel : Slum Landlord

According to the N.Y.Times today, border closings by Israel and witholding (stealing- my definition) of Palestinian tax receipts are creating an humanitarian catatrophe.

The witholding of medical supplies, food and necessities is a collective punishment. Israeli arrogance blows off comparisons to the same collective punishment by Nazis in World War II in the Warsaw Ghetto. Also playing a pivotal role is the " Mercant of Menace" Wolfowitz as president of the World Bank. He cut off funding to the Palestinian Authority even before Hamas came into power.

Israel has become a caricature of it's own stereotype. America should cut off funding that underwrites Israeli arrogance.
