It's Not American "Aid" to Israel. It's Tribute. - CounterPunch.org FM: John Whitbeck Transmitted below is a selection of commentaries on the U.S. air drops over Gaza, assembled by IF AMERICANS KNEW/ISRAEL-PALESTINE NEWS. This pathetic initiative, dropping on Gaza a few American "meals ready to eat" after Israel has dropped on Gaza American bombs with a destructive power significantly exceeding that of the American atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, may well be "Israel's worst humiliation of USA" ever seen by former American ambassador Robert Ford. However, I do not agree with those who assert that President Biden is failing to utilize America's "leverage" over Israel or even that Biden could end Israel's genocidal assault against the people of Gaza with a phone call. I believe that such assertions reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of who is the master and who is the servant in the Israeli/American relationship, of which country gives the orders and which country pays the tribute
