So about 10 days ago I started a letter writing campaign to ask Senator Cardin to condemn the civilian massacre that's going on in Gaza. I received a response and well...let's just say it wasn't the one I was hoping for.
Now here's my letter with the points Cardin chose to ignore highlighted:
Senator Cardin is a coward as is President Barack Obama and everyone in the Senate who voted for SR498. Russia shot one rocket at a civilian aircraft and the U.N. is crippling Russia with sanctions. Israel has killed 3 times the amount of people on the plane and has injured and maimed thousands more and the U.S. has stayed silent. The only time any media outlet dared to criticize Israel was when Israel blamed Secretary of State John Kerry for faltering peace-talks, only then did anyone get the balls to say anything negative about Israel.
Politics is not a game, it's an auction and the highest bidder holds power. If you had any doubt as to how corrupt our political system is your eyes have been opened. The hypocrisy of the United States is appalling, they spent the past decade holding a war on terrorism and when they have an open opportunity to stop international terrorism they sit back and do nothing. Why? Because they need the money for their next campaign, where voters will still vote for them because the media has brainwashed most people into thinking Hamas is terrorizing the innocent Israelis and that any Palestinian person is an automatic ally of Hamas.
It sickens me how helpless the people are but I encourage anyone who hasn't already to CONTINUE WRITING TO SENATOR CARDIN. Let him know that his constituents won't stand for open terrorism.
Dear Mr. Ahsan:Thank you for contacting me regarding the conflict between the State of Israel and Hamas. I am deeply concerned by the escalating violence.
I strongly support Israel's right to defend its citizens against threats to its security and existence. The recent military action taken by the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza is a direct response to Hamas' ongoing barrage of rocket and mortar attacks against civilians in Israel.
Hamas poses a critical challenge to the regional peace process. Labeled as a terrorist organization, Hamas' leaders encourage violence and cling to the belief that Israel should be destroyed. Hamas' actions to extend its reach deeper into Israel and its failure to end continuing attacks exacerbate the already fragile humanitarian situation for the residents of Gaza and undermine efforts to attain peace and security in the region.
On July 10, 2014, I joined 41 of my Senate colleagues in introducing Senate Resolution 498. This resolution reaffirms the United States' support for Israel's right to defend its citizens and ensure the survival of the State of Israel, condemns the unprovoked rocket fire at Israel, calls on Hamas to immediately cease all rocket and other attacks against Israel, and calls on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to dissolve the unity governing arrangement with Hamas and condemn the attacks on Israel.
We must find a way to advance a stable and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinian people. Hamas must end its rocket and mortar attacks, recognize Israel's right to exist, renounce violence, and honor all past agreements to peacefully move toward a two-state solution. I want to assure you that the United States will continue to do all that is within our power to promote peace and stability in the region.
Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on this or any other matter of concern to you.
Now here's my letter with the points Cardin chose to ignore highlighted:
Senator Cardin refused to acknowledge the civillian aspect of my letter and only mentioned in passing! "Fragile humanitarian situation" and "escalating violence"? No, that makes it sound two-sided when really the best word to describe it is genocide. He ignored the fact that Israel has an Iron Dome protecting it from Hamas's crap rockets. He ignored the fact that innocent people are being blown to bits by Israeli rockets, not Hamas militants but ordinary civilians who have never held a weapon before in their lives. He ignored the fact that Israel is receiving massive amounts of foreign aid in spite of the violence. And in his concluding paragraph he says Hamas must do A, B, C, D & E and not a word about Israel stopping it's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Senator Cardin is a coward as is President Barack Obama and everyone in the Senate who voted for SR498. Russia shot one rocket at a civilian aircraft and the U.N. is crippling Russia with sanctions. Israel has killed 3 times the amount of people on the plane and has injured and maimed thousands more and the U.S. has stayed silent. The only time any media outlet dared to criticize Israel was when Israel blamed Secretary of State John Kerry for faltering peace-talks, only then did anyone get the balls to say anything negative about Israel.
