Some 47 million poor Americans - one in four children - see their already meager federal food allowances slashed this week. The cuts amount to $4 billion a year over the next decade. That $4 billion figure should ring a bell. It is equivalent to the official annual subvention that the US government sends to Israel - courtesy of the American taxpayer. This week that $4 billion annual donation to the regime in Tel Aviv was on display with the following items: Israeli tanks, warplanes and troops carried out deadly raids on occupied Palestinian territories, resulting in at least nine deaths and dozens of wounded; dozens of Palestinians continued to be kidnapped (“arrested”) from their homes and streets by Israeli troops; also the dominant Likud party of Benjamin Netanyahu announced that illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Al Quds “will be intensified” with plans to build an additional 5,000 housing units. The accelerated construction on Palestinian land is in blatant contravention of international law.
