There are many similarities between the conditions faced by children of low-income families in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador with children in Gaza, Palestine. In both cases, they are facing murderous violence. The Central Americans face a dangerous trip across Mexico and are not permitted to enter by the U.S. Israel is waging a murderous war against the population of Gaza. In both cases the United States bears a lot of responsibility. It is racist to devalue the lives of Palestinians and Central Americans. Let us do more than be outraged at U.S. support for Israel and our closing of the border with Mexico. It is people’s responsibility in the U.S. to challenge our government’s oppressive policies–let us organize to end all support for Israel, to open our borders and grant refugee status to those fleeing violence and poverty in places such as Central America and Mexico, and against CAFTA, NAFTA and other neoliberal policies.
