Israel Relieves Suffering in Gaza, Egypt Intensifies It. By Walter Russell Mead.

Israel Relieves Suffering in Gaza, Egypt Intensifies It. By Walter Russell Mead. Via Meadia, September 18, 2013.

It almost makes one suspect that something more than concern for the Palestinians’ suffering is at work.
