85 of 100 Senators Sign Letter to Obama Defending Israel

From Weasel Zippers:



(The Hill)- A huge majority of senators co-signed a letter to President Barack Obama Wednesday defending Israel’s actions in the flotilla incident last month and urging the administration to oppose a U.N. resolution critical of the country.

Led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — and signed by 85 other members of the upper chamber — the letter argues that Israel’s blockade of Gaza was both legal and necessary, and that Israeli commandos were acting in self-defense when they landed on the ship.

Those other 25 bear ridicule and closer scrutiny. Open and shut case, it is.
