Cut 'sovereign' Israel loose

An Israeli attack against Gaza killed more than 100 people, most of them innocent civilians. It was a reprisal attack for a few rockets fired into Israel by some Hamas hotheads. 13 Israelis have been killed by these rockets in the past seven years.

In World War II, when the Germans killed civilians as a reprisal for an attack on their forces, it was called a war crime.

The United States should stop the $3 billion annual gift to the Israelis and tell them that as of now, the U.S. will no longer protect them from United Nations sanctions or criticism with our veto. Israel is quick to say it is a sovereign and independent country; well, it's time the U.S. put that to the test.
