[PJMEDIA] A Virginia congressman characterized the rockets being fired into Israel by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, as "fairly feckless," pointing to "too many" Paleostinian deaths as the problem."Well, Israel has the overwhelming support of the American Congress. There are a few of us who feel that, you know, a cease-fire is the only way to go, and it's in Israel's, as well as the Paleostinians' interest to have a cease-fire," Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) said on MSNBC last night.
"Lives are of value. And there are going to be too many innocent Paleostinians killed in this. I don't think that there are going to be many Israelis. We have helped Israel secure the Iron Dome. And really these rockets that have been fired from the Gazoo Strip, they're fairly feckless. I mean, they fall in land that is generally unoccupied, but nevertheless, they are a threat. And I suspect if Hamas could kill people with them, they certainly would," Moran said.
The Israeli Defense Forces reported this morning that a rocket fell on a house in Ashkelon.
"But Israel clearly has the capacity to kill more Gazooks and I think they will as long as rockets continue to be fired from the Gazoo Strip," Moran said. "So, a cease-fire seems to be in everyone's interest. The fact is Israel only generates more hatred, not just from Hamas, but the Arab and Moslem community throughout the world, I suspect with what's going on, with the possible exception of Egypt, perhaps."
| The Egyptians seem to be just fine with the Juices whacking Hamas. I think a private, confidential poll throughout the Arab world would demonstrate little sympathy for the Paleos, whatever is said publicly... |
