Kucinich: Bush Administration Ignores Humanitarian Crisis
Israeli Military Prevents Emergency Ambulance Care for Four Days
WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 8, 2009) -- Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement on the House floor calling attention to a report in the Washington Post that the International Committee of the Red Cross has accused the Israeli military of preventing ambulances from reaching at least 15 emaciated people for four days:
“What is going on in America? We have trillions for a war machine and banks while our government stands by and sniffs at the slaughter of innocents in Gaza, where Israel is blocking aid for wounded Palestinians. Here’s today’s Washington Post it says: The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday that it found at least 15 bodies and several children, emaciated but alive - - in a row of shattered houses in the Gaza strip and accused the Israeli military of preventing ambulances from reaching the site for four days. ...12 corpses lying on mattresses in one home, along with four young children lying next to their dead mothers." That’s a quote
“Today U.S. tax dollars, U.S. jets and U.S. helicopters provided to Israel are enabling the slaughter in Gaza. The Administration enables Israel to press forward with the attack against defenseless civilians; blocks efforts promoting a cease-fire at the UN; and refuses to make Israel comply with conditions that arms shipments not be used for aggression. Israel is going to receive $30 billion in a ten-year period for military assistance, without having to abide by any humanitarian principles, international laws or standards of basic human decency. Wake up America.”

You are not--AND SHOULD BE!--being sworn in on January 20 BUT you are not part of Murder, Inc. or Greed, Inc. or even No-Conscience, Inc. Your colleagues are shut down and and walking around with "SOLD" tags on their lapels. Not only have they sold their voices, they have sold their Souls. It is all a game to them; death in Gaza is their "Reality T.V."
REAL "CHANGE"? http://www.dsausa.org/about/index.html
This is like writing to Hitler, "Please, sir, don't invade Poland."
The gangsters in Israel fully control the leadership of the Democratic party. Pelosi as Speaker, Biden as VP, and Obama (whom many call our first Jewish president) leave no doubt as to how American money will be used to murder in the next four years. And all done, Dennis, by the party you choose to support.
(And just to show I'm not partisan, ditto for Ron Paul and the Republicans.)
It's time those in our Congress choosing peace over empire band together. Lead by example, and boldly severe your ties with the corrupted Zionist gangs.
again spitting into a typhoon. Dennis Kucunich is one of the finest statesman of our times, bar none. They may ignore him, but he is on record for standing up, against all odds, for honoring Justice and the Rule of Law. No matter what happens in the future, good or bad, they'll never be able to rewrite history to take that esteem from his name. What a lost nation we've become where the brave and the patriotic are so few and far between. I'm referring to our elected officials. I still think there's a lot of us out here in the woods that hold decency and respect in high regard. That try being human beings. Maybe the pressure of this oncoming depression will force them to see the error of their ways. Maybe it will be the internet that finally attaches the lies to the man. All I know is that Dennis (and yes, Ron Paul too) will always be fine examples of politicians to me.
The mouse that roared is ... the "mouse" that roared.
As the saying goes, those who can lead, lead. Those who can't, write petitions.
Ron Paul was at least able to muster a counter-Republican convention, which drew substantial attention. While Dennis, hopped up and down for the self proclaimed Zionist, "Up with Biden!"
It's not the ideals of these two individuals I question, it's the insanity of them forcing us to choose between the lesser of two Zionist controlled entities.
