Cheerleaders in Congress

House Overwhelmingly Passes Bill Cheering Israeli War on Gaza

Earlier this afternoon, the United States House of Representatives voted 390-5 in favor of H. RES. 34, voicing their support for the Israeli military effort in the Gaza Strip.

The bill, co-sponsored by 11 representatives, demanded that Hamas end its rocket fire against Israel and renounce violence, while expressing “vigorous support and unwavering commitment” to Israel and declaring that its two weeks of attacks on the Gaza Strip were rightful acts of self-defense.

Shouldn't we be promoting peace and diplomacy rather than war? Let's look at the culpability of both sides.
