[Peace-discuss] Calling Out Bush's War in Gaza

[Robert Naiman]

It may well be that in denouncing "Israel's" attack on Gaza one, in an
important way, unwittingly does a disservice to the cause of holding
the Bush Administration accountable for its crimes.

Is there any doubt that the Bush Administration approved this assault?
Is there any doubt that it could not have taken place without the Bush
Administration's approval?

Is there any doubt that it could not continue without the support of
the Bush Administration and the protective umbrella of its veto at the
UN Security Council? Is there any doubt that it will stop the very day
that the Bush Administration says that it must?

If so, is it in the interest of humanity that we Americans engage in
the charade that the Israeli government is an autonomous actor in this
matter?

All these observations are true in general, but we have plenty of
specific evidence in this case.
