Appeal for UNICEF's Gaza Children's Fund
From Juan Cole's Informed Comment blog:
The demonstrating crowds have gone home. The blog postings have tapered off. The pundits have moved on. Congress is back to its old tricks, ignoring public opinion in favor of the lobbyists and money men. The US public is worried about losing its job or getting back the one it lost. Gaza here is a dimming memory, a momentary nightmare now past.
But the Palestinian children wounded and charred by Israeli bombings are still screaming,
their physicians unable to get hold of enough pain killers to still
their yelps of pain. Some 5300 Palestinians, most of them children,
women and noncombatants, were wounded in Israel's savage war on the
Gaza population.
Please consider donating to UNICEF's Gaza children's fund.
