Two US congressmen visit Gaza

GAZA CITY (AFP) — US congressmen Brian Baird and Keith Ellison, both Democrats, were in Gaza on Thursday, the first such visit since the Islamist Hamas seized power in the Palestinian territory in June 2007.

The pair visited Izzbet Abed Rabbo, a community in northern Gaza devastated during the deadly 22-day Israeli offensive that ended on January 18.

The visit “does not indicate any shift whatsoever with respect to Hamas,” Mr Kerry, who heads the Senate’s powerful foreign relations committee, said before crossing from Israel into the Palestinian enclave aboard a UN vehicle.

And I should believe a politician for exactly what reason? Him especially?

How did he get there? How much Gorebull worming did that add to the already tremendous mountain of gw crap? The hypocrisy is staggering.

“The Democratic US representatives Brian Baird and Keith Ellison were also in Gaza.”

That would be Keith Ellison from Minneapolis. The one who took his oath while placing his hand on the koran.

Hah! President Nixon will probably deny that he sent him on this mission to Gaza, but I know it will be seared, SEARED in his memory.

The same Keith Ellison who was at the Hamas rally on the MN State Capitol steps a month or so ago. They were protesting the Israelis actions in Gaza. He was there to show his support for Palestinians and the Hamas people actually shouted him down and he left. Doesn’t surprise me at all that he is in Gaza now.

What’s he doing in that picture? Pointing out where he spent Christmas in 1967?

Kerry has a history of supporting America’s enemies.

Two rockets and two mortar shells were fired from the Gaza Strip causing no damage or casualties, a military spokesman said.

Missed again. Sleeping with the enemy ping.

Even with all of the security he probably has around him, that’s really a stupid thing to do. But, it’s Kerry. I’m sure the next stop is Switzerland for his ski vacation.
