Israeli visit is pure hypocrisy

To the Editor:

A recent edition of a local paper described the visit of an Israeli envoy to bring relief supplies to our area after Helene.

Yet, the same country, Israel, bombs Gaza daily killing thousands of Palestinians with bombs made in the United States.

At latest count over 44,000 killed, by some estimate more than half are women and children, with daily bombings of elementary schools and hospitals.

They also use their military to block relief aid to starving children. Yet the same Israel, which blocks relief supplies to starving children, sends an envoy to bring relief supplies to one of the richest countries in the world.

What hypocrisy!
