On Tuesday, the US State Department issued a security alert to Americans in the Gaza Strip urging them to leave as soon as possible. They are not in danger from Hamas as the alert claims but from another surge of Israeli bombing.

We need to be ready to hit the streets with placards if Israel resumes bombing in Gaza. It’s unlikely Hamas set off a rocket to Israel (& there is no documentation by Israel to show they did) but even if a single rocket was set off, that does not justify collective punishment by carpet bombing Gaza.

Ready your placards & your marching shoes to demand “no bombing in Gaza” & “no US aid to Israel.”
