To the Editor,
Yoel Mester's masterful propaganda piece, "Israelis Acting to Stop Terror," in Thursday's Metro column was a welcome reprieve from the disturbing reality of Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip. Mr. Mester's central thesis--that destitute Palestinians have blown up their own neighborhoods using Israeli rockets and artillery--offers a fresh perspective on what most people see as a decades-old, mutually-reinforcing orgy of violence which is not likely to end until both sides stop participating in the terror.
Sincerely,
James Ryan Boyd
Yoel Mester is Vice Consul, Consulate General of Israel in Philadelphia

This is what disturbs me the most about that conflict
(From http://disam.osd.mil/pubs/usg/dr/foaa2003.htm)
"FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
For expenses necessary for grants to enable the President to carry out the provisions of section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act, $4,072,000,000: Provided, That of the funds appropriated under this heading, not less than $2,100,000,000 shall be available for grants only for Israel....."
And this is purely military aid to aid to Israel. I'm sure there is cost shifting from the economic aid we are giving them into military actions.
