THE CRUEL BLOCKADE OF GAZA

Israel is supposed to be a western style liberal democracy. It is armed and funded by the United States and benefits by a web of preferential agreements with the European Union. The Jewish state gets much favoured treatment. Its murderous attack on the flotilla of people bringing humanitarian aid to the stricken beleaguered people of Gaza however show it to be anything but a western style democracy and certainly not deserving of the generous munificence which comes out of the hard earned income of western tax-payers' pockets.
