As Obama Wavers, Congressmen Cheer Aid Ship Massacre
By Jason Ditz On June 1, 2010
President Obama’s reluctance to comment in any but the most vague terms of the massacre of 19 aid workers by Israeli commandos late Sunday night has left many wondering exactly where the US government will fall on an issue which has been blanketly condemned by virtually every government in the civilized world and virtually every government outside the civilized world.
But the lack of White House comment has opened the door for Congressmen to stake out public positions on the matter and, perhaps predictably, those that have commented have universally praised the killings.
Rep. Gary Ackerman, the House Foreign Affairs chair, praised the raid, saying he supported Israel’s decision to attack the ship and the decision of the commandos to use deadly force against the aid workers, who he said were “brutally attacking” them. He added that the whole matter was secretly Hamas’ fault.
Several of the Congressmen singled out the United Nations for condemnation, claiming that criticizing the massacre was a “double standard” and demanding that President Obama use veto power to prevent any action being taken against Israel for it.
President Obama has called for an Israeli-led “investigation” into the lead up to the massacre, but has stopped short of criticizing the killings in any specific way.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton advised people to be “careful” in their responses.

Wow, you came to that conclusion from text did you? Amazing.
You still fail to grasp the nuances of English. That in and of itself is forgivable, your unfounded and baseless accusations make you ignorant.
I'm sure you'll be the same character challenged twit at 99, as you are today, so you have no worries there.
Oh yes, I've been bested by someone that has posted no facts, no reasoned retort, nothing. Just simple minded cut and pastes from a Gov't sanctioned news release, miss read my signature on more then one occasion, and is so under educated on the Middle East, even though she lives closer to the region then I...:roll:
Yes selin, you are very much my superior...:lol:
Like what, your ignorance, your childish attacks that garnered you my contemptible retorts? I don't care, you're a twit and your words meaningless. If you were actually a competent poster, and worthy my respect, I might feel something. But you hardly measure a blip on m y radar, other then to play with while I while away my time, waiting for something to actually cause me to think about a reasoned rebuttal.
Cool, then from this point on, I will only reply to your coherent and intelligent posts, so you likely won't be hearing from me in the near future.

I think that should be longer than 'near' to be a really effective it should be something like 'anytime'
You're free to put me on ignore, yet again, because you can't answer my questions, lol. You can't answer anyone's questions directly, without blind cut and pastes, or trying to obfuscate the topic anyways. Making your posts a complete waste of bandwidth.
Have you found the laws that Israel supposedly broke yet?
You bet, as soon as I heard the news, before video footage hit the net, I knew full well, this would be milked by the morons of the world, ad nauseum, regardless of what the truth is.
Hell the idiots even deny video footage taken by the activists. How messed up is that?
Please stop your whining and mewling and sniviling like you've been grievously wronged. It's what bootlickers should come to expect, get used to it sonny because your ilk is about to get much more of it. You'll become visable dirt in Canada and you'll be treated like the scabs you are.
What possible proof would satisfy you when blood bodies and broken cities do nothing to stay your foul mouth. What facts beyond the despicable deeds of that horrid rubbish heap Israel these past sixty years does any right thinking human being need to convince them. Goodbye Israel, no decent human will miss you.
Of course it is a double standard.
The western allies have been boarding merchant vessels on the high seas and searching for weapons and terrorists ever since 9-11.
Israel was doing exactly the same thing.......the only difference is the threat to Israel is immediate, and on her borders. oh, and all those aboard had already declared by their presence their support of Israel's Islamist enemies..........
I glad someone (the US Congress) has the sense to see that.

Further proof you simply, simpleminedly see and read what you want to see and read.
I highly doubt that, you "ilk" haven't been able to post a single broken law, a single piece of fact that contradicts video evidence.
So much for your humanitarianism.
Depends on the context, I can actually quote myself chastising Israel for indiscriminate retaliation. I can also quote you calling for genocide. Something beneath me, and purely contemptible.
But i would love to see you and the rest of your "ilk" show some proof Israel is actually in breach of the law sometime. You all say it is, you post countless cut and pastes of Op/Ed pieces making the same claims. Yet here we are again, not a single law to show.
Some facts to back up your bulky list of claims would be nice. I've never denied Israel has done wrong, I have never called for the genocide of an entire country, that's your wish DB. I would actually like to see peace. But so long as people like you and your "ilk" and that of the rest of the moronic ideologues here, that support neo Nazism, terrorism and hate, keep justifying the acts of aggression against Israel. I will keep defending her and asking you to prove your BS.
To date, I have seen one person prove anything legitimate, and it changed my out look. It wasn't you, you've yet to post anything remotely centered in reality, let alone factual.
I rest my case. You're genocidal ignorance, lack of informed or reasoned debate, is all the proof I need to dismiss you with nothing more the shear contempt. For it is all your mindless parroted posts are worth.
Isn't that the same body that believed all the lies about Iraq before they were invaded, after 10 years of making sure they were disarmed that is.
Hey that's no way to talk about Bear even though he admits to being this sort of person. "be milked by the morons of the world, ad nauseum, regardless of what the truth is.", on second thought go ahead.
You might want to catch the vids from the Turkish Government. Once NATO fails to support them .poof no more NATO and Canada has to bring her troops home.
Well, it wasn't exactly the love boat was it. They set out to deliberately run the blockade , were trained and armed

Nothing untrue about that video, it's right on.
If Palestinians laid down their arms there would be peace.
If Israel laid down their arms there would be genocide.

Compared to when Turkish Warships join the next group it was the love boat.
