Whose land is it? Apartheid in Israel/Palestine

On the long climb to Jerusalem I notice two kinds of trucks. One kind is carrying huge battle tanks still muddy from combat in the West Bank. The other is carrying tents sent from America for Palestinians who have lost their homes in the fighting.

Their Palestinian recipients will eventually reject them as signs of the duplicity of American policy..
