I’ve got blood on my hands, just as the “protest puppet” at the Chicago Cultural Center. Why? Because my tax dollars, and yours, and those of Alderpersons Debra Silverstein, Byron Sigcho-Lopez and Bill Conway, go toward the purchase of U.S.-made bombs that, to date, have killed nearly 47,000 Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children. Tens of thousands more have been maimed, and the dead buried under the rubble that was once Gaza may double or triple the known casualties. I’m sickened by my complicity in this conflict, and if that makes me an antisemite, so be it.
