As Obama Wavers, Congressmen Cheer Aid Ship Massacre

President Obama’s reluctance to comment in any but the most vague terms of the
massacre of 19 aid workers by Israeli commandos late Sunday night has left many
wondering exactly where the US government will fall on an issue which has been
blanketly condemned by virtually every government in the civilized world and
virtually every government outside the civilized world.
But the lack of White House comment has opened the door for Congressmen to stake
out public positions on the matter and, perhaps predictably, those that have
commented have universally praised the killings.
Rep. Gary Ackerman, the House Foreign Affairs chair, praised the raid, saying he
supported Israel’s decision to attack the ship and the decision of the commandos
to use deadly force against the aid workers, who he said were “brutally
attacking” them. He added that the whole matter was secretly Hamas’ fault.
Several of the Congressmen singled out the United Nations for condemnation,
claiming that criticizing the massacre was a “double standard” and demanding
that President Obama use veto power to prevent any action being taken against
Israel for it.
President Obama has called for an Israeli-led “investigation” into the lead up
to the massacre, but has stopped short of criticizing the killings in any
specific way. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton advised people to be “careful”
in their responses.
