Mary, If you were under one of those firecrackers, it would blow off more than your wig–don’t mean to suggest you should be under rocket bombardment–just that the rockets shot from Gaza are hardly as benign as you think.

Rep Bachmann has it all wrong. It is Gaza who is confined in a concentration camp with walls and guard towers surrounding them. It is the Palestinians who are not allowed freedom to leave this concentration camp to work in their fields, go to school or to go to a hospital (with equipment and supplies). It is the Palestinians who have had their borders blockaded from receiving food, medical supplies or even paper. This is just a miniscule example of what israel has inflicted on these captive people, yet they are not allowed to get attention by lobbing their firecrackers, that have not hurt anyone for over 2 years until israel's invasion. The state that "endangers the entire global community", is israel not Gaza and its confined, starving and barely armed people. The leaders of israel stated when they first blockaded Gaza, "we will put them on a diet", they said this while laughing, these are who my tax money supports to the tune of billions yearly. My government does not represent me in this issue. “Backed into a corner”? Rep Bachmann has it all wrong.

Really? How about Israel has been pushing Palestinians into a corner with their illegal occupations and settlements for years. And wasn't Hamas elected in democratic elections with the U.S.'s full support? But then, history doesn't matter much when you're only in it for Armageddon. Good for McCollum and Ellison. The rest of the delegation is giving AIPAC a return on their investment. Israel was pushed into a corner? Really?
