Inside the Middle East Humanitarian Crisis
On July 18, the Senate unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution "condemning Hamas and Hezbollah and their state sponsors and supporting Israel's exercise of its right to self-defense." After House majority leader John Boehner removed language from the bill urging "all sides to protect innocent civilian life and infrastructure," the House version passed by a landslide, 410 to 8.
The resolution was written by American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). According to former Carter Administration National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski "They [Congress] were given a resolution by AIPAC," said, who addressed the House Democratic Caucus on July 19. "They didn't prepare one."
