Sen. Kerry, Reps. Ellison and Baird Visit Gaza; Sderot

Sen. John Kerry has gone into Gaza and a separate delegation of Reps. Brian Baird and Keith Ellison visited as well. It's the first time US officials have gone into the Hamas stronghold since Hamas took over Gaza. Kerry says that they haven't spoken with Hamas leadership but we know that doesn't mean a hill of beans given that even Jimmy Carter has repeatedly met with Hamas leadership. These appearances and their border crossings had to be choreographed and coordinated with Hamas thugs who control the territory.

At least Kerry visited Sderot and saw the thousands of kassams piled up there - collected from all the rocket attacks originating from Gaza during years of Hamas' war against Israel. Oh, and FM Livni was also there. The Israeli press notes that the visit to Gaza was a harbinger of what Israel expects to be a new US approach to the conflict, and not in a good way.

Rep. Ellison, the only Muslim in the US Congress, was photographed, not at Sderot with those rockets fired by the Islamic terrorist group Hamas or Islamic Jihad, but in Gaza, looking like he's distributing food.

That's par for the course. He wouldn't want to be seen showing even the slightest bit of support for Israel by showing his mug alongside all those rockets fired by the terrorist groups.
