| 2014-06-11 |
Top politicians on a congressional Middle East subcommittee want Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... to explain his decision to continue dealing with the Paleostinian Authority now that it is backed by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,. The leading Democratic and Republican members of the US House of Representatives Middle East subcommittee sent a letter to Kerry Monday seeking an explanation from the B.O. regime regarding Hamas, which has been designated by the United States and Israel as a terror organization. "Any decision to work with this unity government could be extraordinarily counterproductive in our efforts both to promote peace and to help support the security of our ally Israel," said the letter from Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), the committee's chairwoman, and Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), its top Democrat. Ros-Lehtinen and Deutch said in the letter that they are ready to convene a hearing on the issue so that the B.O. regime can explain how any ongoing relationship would not violate US law, which bans interactions with Hamas. Ros-Lehtinen authored the 2006 law which bans such contacts. Israeli officials have openly criticized the administration for its decision to continue aid to and interaction with the Paleostinian Authority in the wake of the establishment last week of an interim government jointly backed by Fatah, the relatively moderate group preeminent in the West Bank, and Hamas, the US-designated terrorist group controlling the Gazoo Strip. |
