Glenn Greenwald comments on Israel’s massive bombing of Gaza, and the American political reaction:

Not a word of condemnation of the Israeli blockade — which has caused extreme suffering and deprivation in Gaza — or of the massively disproportionate response or the ongoing and ever-expanding Israeli occupation.  It is all one-sided support for whatever Israel does from our political class, and one-sided condemnation of Israel’s enemies (who are, ipso facto, American enemies) — all of it, as usual, sharply divergent from the consensus in much of the rest of the world.

Amira Haas provides a first hand account of the human suffering caused by the bombings.
