The US has swiftly acceded to a request from the Israel Defense Force for a fresh supply of ammunition, to replace what's been fired into Gaza over the past month. As Haroon Siddiqui of the Toronto Star points out here, the death toll from the indiscriminate use of these weapons is already more than four times as great as the number of lives lost in the shooting down of Malaysia Airline flight 17 over eastern Ukraine -- and there's no sign that the carnage in Gaza is going to end any time soon.
In the circumstances, isn't it just the tiniest bit hypocritical of the US to keep loudly demanding that the Russians desist from supplying arms to the Ukrainian insurgents?
