Transcribed from the clipping
“Israel’s warring actions in Gaza are terroristic and our country should cut off all aid to it… We are horribly complicit in the deaths of more than 500 Gazan children. We have pledged $30 billion to Israel over the next 10 years. Most of the funds must be used to purchase American weapons. We recently pledged $900 million to help rebuild Gaza.
It is insanity to fund both the destruction and the rebuilding of Gaza.”

This record is part of Covering Palestine, an archive of American newspaper clippings about Palestinians, 1724 to 2023. Researched and assembled by Maria Robles.
The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
Something wrong here, or something you know about this clipping? The archive is still being built and corrections are wanted: maria@rozumstudio.com, quoting CP-2009-025.
