« Egyptian Police Brutality with Gaza Freedom Marchers 1 | Baltimore Vigil in Solidarity with Gaza » |
from: William Hughes
A demonstration, in sub-freezing weather, was held in front of the Egyptian Embassy, in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 2, 2010. The protest action was directed at the “sabotaging of the Gaza Freedom March” by elements of the Egyptian regime, according to a press release. Meanwhile, U.S. President Barack Obama and the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, have done little or nothing to alleviate the controversy. Egypt gets about $2 billion a year in foreign aid from the American taxpayers and Israel around $3.5 billion a year.
