Rep. Barbara Lee speaks out on Gaza Crisis
And a call for action (for US readers of this blog):
I call upon you, my elected representative, to join with other Congressional representatives in passing a binding resolution that declares the human and material costs of the Israel Palestine conflict are unacceptable and that, inasmuch as the United States of America has exercised substantial power and influence in Israel and Palestine for many years, the US government shall now use its power and influence to promote peace, justice, and reconciliation in the region.
To that end, the U.S. should hereby demand the Israeli government end the siege of Gaza, both because it is inhumane and illegal, and as an irrefutable expression of sincerity and good will in creating the conditions to continue negotiations and dialog that result in a just and lasting peace. – Link
