DINGELL: Well, we don’t, first of all, I don’t take sides for or against Hezbollah or for or against Israel.ANCHOR: You’re not against Hezbollah?
DINGELL: No, I happen to be—I happen to be against violence, I think the United States has to bring resolution to this matter. Now, I condemn Hezbollah as does everybody else, for the violence, but I think if we’ve got to talk to them and if we don’t — if we don’t get ourselves in a position where we can talk to both sides and bring both sides together, the killing and the blood let is going to continue.
He said what he said, but it was just probably just sloppy English. He does not appear to actively support Hezbollah, and he seems quite conflicted about supporting Israel.
Then he should write a letter to the Michiganders within his district apologizing for his remarks that were 'taken out of context', instead of attacking Limbaugh. My guess is we wont ever see that letter. He remarks however did draw a moral equivalence between the Israelis and Hezbollha by stating that he is not 'choosing sides'. We probably wont ever see Dingleberry ask for forgiveness from the Israelis like Mel Gibson has asked for forgiveness from the Jews.
