Joining Graham, Schumer calls for end of Palestinian unification for sake of Israel’s ‘survival’

Inevitable but dismal and tragic: Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer and Robert Menendez join Republicans Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham in sponsoring a resolution calling for an end to the unification government of Palestine. And anything Israel wants to do to defend itself, fine. The four on Thursday

introduced a resolution expressing support for the State of Israel as it defends itself against unprovoked attacks from the Hamas terrorist organization.

The rockets are an existential threat, evidently. The resolution: 

Reaffirms the United States’ support for Israel’s right to defend its citizens and ensure the survival of the State of Israel;

Does the survival of that state require slaughter? This resolution would seem to be more about the delegitimization of Israel in international fora especially in the shadow of the end of the peace process.

Not a word about Palestinian death. “The State of Israel is under siege on multiple fronts,” writes Lindsey Graham. Here is Schumer’s statement:

“Israel is entitled to take the steps necessary to protect itself from destructive rocket attacks from Hamas that are aimed at all Israeli civilians, regardless of their religion,” said Senator Schumer. “This resolution supports Israel as it protects itself in a manner that values the safety of Palestinian civilians even as its own civilians face indiscriminate attacks from terrorists. It is time for Mahmoud Abbas to do the right thing and break ties with Hamas.”

Fifth column comes to mind. Disgraceful persons!

israel’s been on a warpath since fatah and hamas signed the unity deal. didn’t even drip a beat w/the reports of the kidnapping. just drove it home the whole time. now they arebombing gaza and still demanding it.

israel is the bully in the schoolyard and they will throw a tantrum(massacring) until they get what they want if no one stops them. shame on all these senators doing netanyahu’s bidding . shame. while children are slaughtered.

“It is time for Mahmoud Abbas to do the right thing and break ties with Hamas.”

And if he doesn’t what then? You gonna cut funding?

Go ahead, Schumer, pull that trigger.

“Hamas is entitled to take the steps necessary to protect itself from destructive rocket attacks from Israel that are aimed at all Gazan civilians, regardless of their religion,” said Senator Schumer. “This resolution supports Palestine as it protects itself in a manner that values the safety of Israeli civilians even as its own civilians face indiscriminate attacks from terrorists. It is time for the Knesset to do the right thing and end Israeli apartheid.”

Perhaps someone will the the decency to ask the senators representing Tel Aviv if Palestinians have the right to self defence – if not, why not?

There they go again kissing up to the zionists. It is quite clear that this massacre is more of a revenge killing spree for being united, more than other reasons.
The Palestinians must do as Israel says, or they will be dealt with violently.
What we are witnessing, is the hatred and brutality, nazi style, that the zionists have adapted, against those who cannot fight back.
