President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for your ongoing work to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for your commitment of $300 million in U.S. aid to rebuild the Gaza Strip. We write to you with great concern about the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

The people of Gaza have suffered enormously since the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt following Hamas' coup, and particularly following Operation Cast Lead. We also sympathize deeply with the people of southern Israel who have suffered from abhorrent rocket and mortar attacks. We recognize that the Israeli government has imposed restrictions on Gaza out of a legitimate and keenly felt fear of continued terrorist action by Hamas and other militant groups. This concern must be addressed without resulting in the de facto collective punishment of the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip. Truly, fulfilling the needs of civilians in Israel and Gaza are mutually reinforcing goals.

The unabated suffering of Gazan civilians highlights the urgency of reaching a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and we ask you to press for immediate relief for the citizens of Gaza as an urgent component of your broader Middle East peace efforts. The current blockade has severely impeded the ability of aid agencies to do their work to relieve suffering, and we ask that you advocate for immediate improvements for Gaza in the following areas:

* Movement of people, especially students, the ill, aid workers, journalists, and those with family concerns, into and out of Gaza;

* Access to clean water, including water infrastructure materials,

* Access to plentiful and varied food and agricultural materials;

* Access to medicine and health care products and suppliers;

* Access to sanitation supplies, including sanitation infrastructure materials;

* Access to construction materials for repairs and rebuilding;

* Access to fuel;

* Access to spare parts;

* Prompt passage into and out of Gaza for commercial and agricultural goods; and

* Publication and review of the list of items prohibited to the people of Gaza.

Winter is arriving and the needs of the people grow ever more pressing. For example, the ban on building materials is preventing the reconstruction of thousands of innocent families' damaged homes. There is also a concern that unrepaired sewage treatment plants will overflow and damage surrounding property and water resources.

Despite ad hoc easing of the blockade, there has been no significant improvement in the quantity and scope of goods allowed into Gaza. Both the number of trucks entering Gaza per month and the number of days the crossings have been open have declined since March. This crisis has devastated livelihoods, entrenched a poverty rate of over 70%, increased dependence on erratic international aid, allowed the deterioration of public infrastructure, and led to the marked decline of the accessibility of essential services.

The humanitarian and political consequences of a continued near-blockade would be disastrous. Easing the blockade on Gaza will not only improve the conditions on the ground for Gaza's civilian population, but will also undermine the tunnel economy which has strengthened Hamas. Under current conditions, our aid remains little more than an unrealized pledge. Most importantly, lifting these restrictions will give civilians in Gaza a tangible sense that diplomacy can be an effective tool for bettering their conditions.

Your Administration's overarching Middle East peace efforts will benefit Israel, the Palestinians, and the entire region. The people of Gaza, along with all the peoples of the region, must see that the United States is dedicated to addressing the legitimate security needs of the State of Israel and to ensuring that the legitimate needs of the Palestinian population are met.

Sincerely,

And of course Ellison the sand schvartza was one of the initiators of the petition, predictably pushing jihad to the extent that his office allows him.  If Israel had decent leadership, they would turn this letter into a hit list for the Mossad.

Ellison is a follower of trashcan farakan

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Also of note is that J Street and Americans for Peace Now supported this monstrosity:

The 54 deserve our thanks as does J Street and Americans for Peace Now, which supported the House effort that was led by three Minnesotans: Keith Ellison, James Oberstar, and Betty McCollum.

I am sure CAIR is behind this.  Most of them are Democrats.  Shame on them, they get Jewish money to get elected but reciprocate by attacking Israel.

Why can't they write a letter to Obama about the sufferings of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits, Hindus and Christians of Pakistan, Copt of Egypt and Zoarstrans in Iran?

Hopefully all of them are voted out of office in 2010.

There is also a concern that unrepaired sewage treatment plants will overflow and damage surrounding property and water resources.

 

[JTFenthusiast2]

Christian Zionist,

I couldn't agree with you more.  Apparently the suffering of those groups doesn't register with these selectively bigoted reps.

Let me guess, every Jew in Congress except for Kantor signed this.

No just yellow teeth Filner and John Yarmouth who comes from a largely nigra district.As far as Filner both REP and Progressives  SEEM PRETTY CORRUPT IN THAT DISTRICT MADE TO ORDER

Vargas' website claims Filner is corrupt, dangerous, ineffective and a hypocrite.

The site accuses Filner of using his position in Congress as a "get rich quick scheme" by paying his wife over $517,000 from his campaign account (a practice Filner has contended is legal,) and by supporting a controversial no-bid water treatment contract for Bajagua, a Mexican company, after pocketing $66,000 in contributions. (RAW STORY previously reported on the controversial Bajagua project, which was also supported by Congressman Duncan Hunter and Vice President Dick Cheney.)

Vargas' site also criticizes Filner for not being tough enough on child molesters and for accepting more special interest money than Vargas.

Last week, Vargas launched a TV ad that makes it appear as if Filner is talking with convicted ex-Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham about corruption – a depiction Filner has labeled as false in a letter to supporters

Washington State Democrat Brian Baird,   one of the 54 Democrat House Reps.  who signed the above letter,   is now taking an even more proactive approach to support the Muslim Nazi terrorist beasts in Gaza.    With ultra leftist [censored] Silverstein  promoting this on his hideous site.    Thankfully,   Brian Baird is not seeking another term:
