Israeli politicians actually kill people.<BR/><BR/>It appears to me that this war was solely for the purpose of short term electoral gain. I find this disgusting. I cannot see how it is in the long term interest of Israel.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Congress, urged on by Pelosi, passed a resolution in support of Israel. My own allegedly radical congresswoman (Barbara Lee) voted "present".<BR/><BR/>Remember, Obama visited Sderot during the campaign and announced his sympathy for the Israelis.
