In response to a letter I wrote Mike, his response was predictably dissapointing. Here it is: Dear Thomas and Susan: Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent incident between members of Israel’s defense forces and several cargo ships. I appreciate hearing from you. As you may know, on May 31, 2010, Israeli Defense Forces attempted to board and redirect six vessels bound for Gaza. The cargo ships were carrying 10,000 tons of aid materials. While five of the six ships were peacefully redirected to the Israeli port of Ashdod for inspection, the boarding of the sixth ship, the Mavi Marmara, became violent. The events of May 31st are not yet clear. Initial reports indicate that the Israeli commandos were attacked by passengers of the Mavi Marmara when they attempted to board the ship. The incident resulted in the deaths of nine passengers, including an American, and the injury of several Israeli commandos. The United Nations Security Council and President Obama have called for an impartial investigation into the incident, and I fully support that effort. I have every confidence in Israel’s culture of dissent and self-examination, even in times of great national stress. Israel has every right to defend itself from security threats and to protect its people from indiscriminate rocket fire from Gaza. That effort includes a close examination of what goes in and out of the region. At the same time, the incident underscores the need to resolve the situation in Gaza. While its right to defend itself can never be questioned, Israel must help ease conditions of extreme economic hardship in Gaza and other areas where Palestinians have been displaced from their homes. Israeli officials should continue to work with the U.S., the Palestinian Authority, and Egypt to pursue this goal, while at the same time maintaining the effectiveness of Israel’s security perimeter. I believe the status quo is actually strengthening Hamas’s control over Gaza. We must consider new approaches that allow the people of Gaza to work toward a better future – a future with alternatives to Hamas. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who were killed or injured during this terrible incident. When leaders work together to ease the conditions in Gaza, the economy improves and tensions subside. We also reduce the likelihood that such tragedies will happen again. For more information about my priorities as a U.S. Senator, I invite you to visit my website at bennet.senate.gov/. Again, thank you for contacting me. Sincerely, Michael Bennet United States Senator

"Satan / Cheney in "08" Tom... Just another bought and paid for politician.
Gag.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Israel was formed on land taken at gunpoint from indigenous Arabs by "Israeli" terrorists so if Bennet's assertion were to apply universally any thief would have the right to shoot up pursuing police.
May not be true in all cases. Could be just avoidance of an attack from the world's most notorious terrorists.
One thing is clear to me. The scenario playing out in the middle east is one fabricated by western forces (at the instruction of their globalist bosses) knowing full well nothing good could come of it. The daily barrage of middle east propaganda has become habitual to the point where we accept it as normal. Our news reports are filled with foreigners speaking with arabic accents or Jewish ones that both offend my ears, and always seem to favor the Jews. You see a kid throwing rocks at an Israeli tank and the kid is called the attacker. This latest incident has Israeli "COMMANDOS" boarding a ship in international waters in the middle of the night, throwing flash grenades around and later there are nine dead civilians, none of them armed, some shot in the back of the head. And, miracle of miracles there are no dead Israelis. I call bullshit. The world has become a far more dangerous place because of the establishment of Israel. Our American kids have been deprived of a normal life with a normal job in a peaceful work environment. Some of our American youth have been killed or maimed because of this very sad joke. To think that those like Mr. Bennett are basing their support of the Israeli terrorist thugs on Biblical belief or some sense of responsibilty for the holocaust is sheer nonsense. Where are the voices of reason ? There will be a price paid for the horrendous treatment of the Palestinian people.
YOU only count when it's census or TAX time" ... don't you find it ironic that the census bureau says they rely upon the Constitution for their authority and pays their help in UNCONSTITUTIONAL FRNs ... bend over and lick the hand that beats you !
What he should have said: We must consider new approaches that allow the people of the United States and the World to work toward a better future – a future without jews, israel and zionism.
Yeh, and they were "attacked" as they assulted a ship.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Preposterous BS as well.

Mike Flaherty: Yeah, it's been there a long time. I wish I knew which corner.
