caring Kucinich Urges Restoration of Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

http://www.commondreams.org/news2008/0124-13.htm

Yesterday Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), along with 10 Members of Congress, sent a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urging her to exert her influence to lift the blockade of Gaza.

-snip-

“Threatening the public health of 1.5 million people is not an effective or lawful means to ensure the security of Israel,” Kucinich said. “Collective punishment will not stop the rocket fire; it only creates a questionable “balance” of suffering on both sides of the border.

“The United States must support a viable peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis”
---------------------

you can count on Dennis to be on the job

3. That's all well and good, but we could
use some humanitarian aid right here in the good old U.S of A.

5. Dennis was my first choice. Just as much bias against Dennis as there
will eventually be against Obama. Dennis is right on ALL the issues. Being pragmatic, I switched to HC.
