Dennis Kucinich said "Were Israel's security needs influenced by the U.S. calendar? Between the Christmas season and the inauguration, Israel's attack on Gaza killed over 1,300 Palestinians, many of them women and children, with U.S. planes, helicopters, white phosphorus and Congressional support causing over $2 billion worth of destruction. Now that this holiday war is over against Gaza, let our new administration and Congress work for the security and peace for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. Let us support full restoration of humanitarian aid and the reconstruction of Gaza. Let us support an end to the blockade, an enforceable cease-fire, and adherence to international law by both Israel and Hamas. It's time to work for peace in the Middle East through the rule of law, not the rule of arms, through diplomacy, not force." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
