* U.S. loses credibility


         One of hundreds of children killed in Gaza by overwhelming Israeli force


With a vote of 344 "for" and a vote of 36 "no," the U.S. Congress has completely damaged U.S. credibility around the world. The U.S. Congress has passed it's U.S. House Resolution which condemns the U.N. Goldstone report on the Israel attack on Gaza. Even though the report was critical of BOTH Israel and Hamas, the US Congress has said that the report was too critical of Israel.


Because of the obvious sanitised US media, it's understandable that the majority of the American public would be unaware of what really went on BEFORE and DURING Israeli attack on Gaza Jan 2009... but the US Congress have no excuses. The U.S. Congress has essentially thumbed it's nose at the entire international community, the U.N. General Assembly, the U.N Human Rights Council, the Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International.

With the previous U.S House Resolution in Jan 2009 supporting Israeli attack and now with it's U.S. House Resolution condemning an U.N. investigation of that attack, this makes the U.S. an accessory to that attack and the slaughter. It only encourages MORE hatred towards Americans. If the U.S. and Israel are AFRAID of an U.N. investigation, then Israel should do it's OWN investigation to clear it's name in this matter.

Take a look at the LARGE 2008 "contributions," given by pro-Israel PAC's to members of the U.S. Senate and Congress.
