Once again the Bush administration brings shame upon our country with their veto of the U.N. Security Council statement calling for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers. A similar resolution was blocked by the U.S. at the beginning of Israeli air attacks in December. President-elect Obama has remained silent, cowering under the “only one President at a time” banner, or, worse, agreeing with the Israeli position of massive retaliation.
Meanwhile Israel continues their litany of “right to self protection,” which it seeks to accomplish by creating Hamas martyrs rather than fostering an environment which would render Hamas unnecessary.
