Fifty-four members of the U.S. Congress have signed a letter asking President Barack Obama to put pressure on Israel to ease the siege of the Gaza Strip. The letter was the initiative of Representatives Jim McDermott from Washington and Keith Ellison from Minnesota, both of whom are Democrats. Ellison is the first American Muslim to ever win election to Congress.
McDermott and Ellison wrote that they understand the threats facing Israel and the ongoing Hamas terror activities against Israeli citizens but that "this concern must be addressed without resulting in the de facto collective punishment of the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip." "We ask you to press for immediate relief for the citizens of Gaza as an urgent component of your broader Middle East peace efforts," they wrote, adding that the siege has hampered the ability of aid agencies to do their work in Gaza. The congressmen urged Obama to pressure Israel to ease the movement of people into and out of Gaza, especially students, the sick, aid workers, journalists and those with family concerns, and also to allow the import of building materials to rebuild houses. Israel has warned that such materials would be used to rebuild Hamas infrastructure and not civilian homes.
For those of you unaware of just how radical this terrorist in a suit actually is, I suggest you go over to Powerline and do a search of "Keith Ellison" and you will see a library of incriminating evidence against him during his campaign run for the House seat.
I also urge you to do some research on Ellison - check on how many trips Ellison has made outside of the United States during his stay in office and check on what percentage of those trips were made to the Middle East.
Now, some of you might think that 54 members signing this out of a total of 435 House members is pretty small but it is SHOCKING to see this - typically, the House of Representatives is the bulwark of support for Israel and the fact that Ellison and McDermott got this thing rolling at all is a travesty. Think about it - we have a letter signed BY OUR REPRESENTATIVES directed at Israel demanding that the terrorists and animals of the West Bank and Gaza be allowed to kill more Israelis! Keith Ellison has contaminated the House of Representatives and his evil and perversion is starting to spread. Sure, it's "only" 54 today...but in six months, what if it is 150? What happens when a majority decide that Israel is no longer worth defending?
And the real painful part of this is that after the 2010 mid-term elections, you will see more muslims in Congress adding to this assault on Israel. I urge you, wherever you live...don't fall for campaign rhetoric like what Ellison spewed out - these islamists running for the House of Representatives have one goal in mind - it isn't improving life in America, it isn't representing your District....hell no, it is to form an assassin brigade in the House that will, through legislative methods, target Israel and eventually create a schism between the U.S. and Israel that will lead to our abandonment of the Jewish state.
And when that happens people, you better be at peace with G_d.
Rep. Keith Ellison and Rep. Jim McDermott - some of us are watching your every move and the only resolution for you, I'm afraid, is to remove your name plate from your House office door. Perhaps your desire for America to support the likes of Hamas and Islamic Jihad flies in pockets of your districts but in America, you will find that the Judao-Christian foundations of this country are strong and we'll treat you no differently than if you were aiding and abetting enemies of any of our allies.
I'm going to get the full list of the 54 who signed this piece of filth and post it later for all of America to see.
Here's the list of the scum Representatives who signed this shitrag letter. Find your Congressman or Congresswoman on this list, email them, call them and make it clear that you are OUTRAGED that they would seek to put Israelis in harm's way. Call them anti-Semitic, call them terrorist appeasers - you know, give them THE FUCKING TRUTH! By the way, EVERYONE of these excuses of human beings are DEMOCRATS.

U.S. lawmakers to Obama: Press Israel to ease Gaza siege
Fifty-four members of the U.S. Congress have signed a letter asking President Barack Obama to put pressure on Israel to ease the siege of the Gaza Strip. The letter was the initiative of Representatives Jim McDermott from Washington and Keith Ellison from Minnesota, both of whom are Democrats. Ellison is the first American Muslim to ever win election to Congress.
McDermott and Ellison wrote that they understand the threats facing Israel and the ongoing Hamas terror activities against Israeli citizens but that "this concern must be addressed without resulting in the de facto collective punishment of the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip."
"We ask you to press for immediate relief for the citizens of Gaza as an urgent component of your broader Middle East peace efforts," they wrote, adding that the siege has hampered the ability of aid agencies to do their work in Gaza.
The congressmen urged Obama to pressure Israel to ease the movement of people into and out of Gaza, especially students, the sick, aid workers, journalists and those with family concerns, and also to allow the import of building materials to rebuild houses. Israel has warned that such materials would be used to rebuild Hamas infrastructure and not civilian homes.
Ellison has harshly criticized the House of Representatives decision to reject the Goldstone report, arguing that the report "only presents facts and raises recommendations for the future." He cast doubt that members of Congress who voted to reject the report even took the time to read it and that the rejection hurt the Obama government's role as an honest broker in the Middle East conflict.
In addition to members of Congress, several leftist organizations also signed the letter, including Americans for Peace Now and J Street.
The Israeli Embassy in Washington responded to the letter: "The Israeli position is that the Hamas government in Gaza does not meet the conditions set forth by the international community and the Quartet. And as long as Hamas continues to attack Israel with missiles and other means, Israel will not open the border crossings. With this, Israel is doing everything possible to ensure that humanitarian aid enters Gaza in a controlled manner so that it is ensured that the population receives what it needs, including medical care in Israel. But Israel will not allow a neighbor that calls for its destruction to enjoy the benefits of an open border."
Also, a letter signed by 33 members of Congress was sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to raise the issue with Israel of students from Gaza who are having difficulty studying at universities in the West Bank due to the lack of free passage between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
"Ensuring that students from Gaza have access to higher education in the West Bank promotes U.S. foreign policy interests by investing in the future of the region," the letter states.
The State Department responded to the letter: "Education is a fundamental right and a force for moderation. The Secretary responds to all Congressional correspondence as appropriate."

Lets not make this complicated, soon everyone in the world will have a decision to make, either take sides with the Almighty on the side of holiness or take sides with the forces of evil and take the consequences.This decision transends
national and international borders, the conflict will take place not just in Israel and the middle east, but worldwide.
as they say in the movies, coming to a location near you soon.
I can see Representative Mc Dermott is back to his old games.
He represents my district here in Seattle and gets about 80% of the vote every time he runs..... Without airing a single campaign commercial.
Just a couple of notes about Jim. He was the ONLY house member to vote against the Afghanistan invasion right after 9-11. He was also the main star in Michael Moore's famed Fahrenheit 911 movie. This guy is as radical left as they come.
Anyhow, back to the subject.... DO you remember a few years ago when Israeli civilians were being blown up by Pali's every other day at restaurants, cafes, on busses, etc.
Well, all that has stopped. Obviously the tight border controls are working great. And now these 54 House members want to go back to the days of seeing little kids blown to bits?
Please post the list OE. These idiots need to be exposed.
What? No socialists from the Peoples Democratic Republic of Illinois? Was it a snow day? Where they all in custody on corruption charges? Oh wait, most of them can't read or write.
Nevermind.......
God Bless the American Military..
God Save the United States......
Lois Capps (D-CA), Bob Filner (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), Sam Farr (D-CA), Michael Honda (D-CA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), JJackie Speier (D-CA), Diane Watson (D-CA), George Miller (D-CA)
