Kucinich Condemns Israeli Attack on House Floor
-----------------------------------------------



Speaking on the House floor, Democratic Congressmember Dennis Kucinich
condemned the attack on the UN compound, saying, “Using US planes,
helicopters and munitions to attack a wounded, starved and thirsty
civilian population of mostly children trapped in a box called Gaza has
become acceptable, perhaps because we have already accepted the deaths
of over one million innocent civilians in Iraq in a war based on
lies…When we recognize the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, when we come
to grips with the reality of suffering on both sides, we may yet find a
way to save ourselves.” Kucinich has been one of the few members of
Congress to publicly oppose the Israeli attack on Gaza.
