Many thanks to Max Kraus for his important and thoughtful Letter to the Editor urging others to “decry the current Israeli actions that have led to widespread deaths and starvation of Palestinian residents” in Gaza. We’d add that Israel’s behavior would not have been, or continue to be, possible without the steadfast support of the government of the United States.
