[...] peace. Congress also demonstrated that it knows who to blame by overwhelmingly passing a resolution condemning the UN’s Goldstone report which documented Israeli atrocities in Gaza last January. And there have also been more harsh [...]

Another fine display of brilliance by our wise Congress. It's not like there's any issues in America that need to be addressed. Let's just keep passing the pro-Israel resolution of the week. After all every action a Congressman takes is based on the answer to the question "How does this affect Israel?" Traitors all.

The people of the Gaza Strip have no place to escape to. Not that I'm defending the US wars.

I was shocked and happily surprised that Ed Pastor of Arizona (Phoenix metro), who represents the district I grew-up in, and where my parents still live, voted "no" I was disappointed that Jeff Flake also of Arizona/ Mesa, who's representing himself as an old school conservative, voted "yes."

I called both their offices to register my thoughts. Pastor's office was very happy for my support — I bet the AIPAC goon squad have already started opening their coffers to get him out of office.

no they are not ! the united states of america have no alliance with Israel and it is not a NATO member. its just easy to convince ignorant otherwise.
the only possible alliance the united states has is a secret agreement with the executive branch
which for 2 self declared democracies is embarrassing

Shame on you how shamelessly you asking the question who started the war? With some bully friend can I strom into your home and take it over? and when you cry and start starving beat the heck out of you and throw you in the largest open air concentration camp that ever built – steal your right of existence.
This is their land and their right to live with respect and dignity by raising the walls, bombing the innocent lives and having your bully friends to cover your butt. This cannot go on forever, and your frinds realizing how far then went and how deep you got them into this mess and being abused.
A human live is a human live and is a human live. To be protected and privilidged over all others it does not have to be jewish.

"Well it is obvious most of you folks are totally unaware of the facts like how many rockets Hamas and others have lobbed into Israel,"
- technically all rockets are fired from within Israel making them insurgents.

"how many times Israeli civilians have been targeted,"
because these are homemade weapons with out the ability to be targeted i will say none!
how many of israeli precision weapons killed civilians?

your conflating of hamas, and Hezbollah show you have no handle on anything going on in the region, hamas was created by israel so they would not need to deal with fatah.
hizbollah on the other hand is a liberation army formed during a 20 year occupation
hizbollah has always target israeli military personnel and only target civilians as a "belligerent reprisals" LOOK IT UP

"PLO, Hamas, etc use books in school that teach hatred towards Israel,"

the example you think you are referring to is in fact that that in the occupied territories children are taught that Palestine is from the Jordan to the Mediterranean.
GUESS WHAT! in israeli schools children are taught that israel is from the jordan to the Mediterranean

"Or how about the billions of dollars given to the PLO, including a good bit from Israel that has never been used for infrastructure building? Wonder where it went."

israel withholds all tax revenue most of the money that has been given are either bribes or supporting the force that led the coup detet against hamas

"No, the real cowards are the 36 who voted against the condemnation of the report. "
no the real cowards are those who dont even bother reading the report yet like to think they know whats going on
