US Congressman Dennis Kucinich says the continuing Israeli attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip are an example of 'collective punishment™'. But we already knew which side Dennis is on...
"The perpetrators of attacks against Israel must also be brought to justice, but Israel cannot create a war against an entire people in order to attempt to bring to justice the few who are responsible. The Israeli leaders know better," Kucinich said in a news release on Monday.
Well maybe if you offered them some of that secret UFO technology your friends possess, this situation wouldn't be nearly as bad as you say, ya bastid...
Medics told Press TV that at least 345 Palestinians have been killed and about 1,550 have been wounded as Israel on Saturday kicked off the assaults. Israel has called the attack an 'all-out' war on the Hamas movement.
The Democratic lawmaker also urged an independent investigation to be led by the United Nations into Israel's acts of violence. Kucinich said that he wrote to UN General Secretary Ban ki-Moon, urging an 'independent inquiry of Israel's war against Gaza'.
And who could be more independent than the UN?
"It is time for the UN to not just call for a cease-fire, but for an inquiry as to Israel's actions," said Kucinich.
Yeah, an...inquiry! That's the ticket!
