You may recall that on Friday, in what would have been a Christmas Miracle were it not several months early, Congress actually got something done. It was the passage of a bill approving $225M in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome defensive missile system. It was quite the bipartisan effort in retrospect, garnering an overwhelming 395 votes in the House with only eight in opposition. One of those eight was Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, and as The Corner reports, he went out on the weekend gab circuit to explain why he didn’t support the measure.
“Because a cease-fire is what we should prioritize now,” he said when asked to explain his vote on Meet the Press. “A cease-fire protects civilians on both sides — it doesn’t just say, ‘We’re only concerned about people on one side.’”
He pointed to the devastation he witnessed during his trips to Gaza.
Let’s go to the brief video, and then we’ll carry on below that.

I think that Israel should demand that Hamas supply northern Israel with a proportionate number of volunteers for suicide bombings in Gaza, as well as rockets and crews that can be fired indiscriminately into Gaza City.
Call me old school, but Hamas and the people of Gaza should be paying for this. Israel, should crush Gaza and extract every single once of wealth (yeah, I know there isn't much, Muslims like to live in filth). The new norm in warfare is going back in history when spoils went to the victor. We should have done it in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As for Ellison, he is the poster child for Muslims in America. Note: I did not write Muslim Americans, because there isn't such a thing. Remember Ellison the next time you encounter a Muslim.
It’s obvious that kid on the left is being choked to DEATH! Look how his tongue is sticking out. That’s a severe choking reflex. What bastards!
What else do you expect from a Muslim?
I think the technology was developed by Israel and it is something we want to have and will probably need in the near future. Not necessarily for North America but if I was still a troop overseas in a hot zone I’d sleep a lot better knowing we had an Iron Dome!
So we’re helping with research and development costs and will expect to reap them back to our advantage.
When your base or town doesn’t get ripped to shreds by Islamonuts with missiles you tend to not have to spend so much rebuilding and paying death insurance & benefits out to survivors.
The vote that needs explaining is how Minnesotans could send a person like this to congress in the first place. Gawd!!!!!!
I’d read on another thread that Hamass Cowards were doing this....hanging kids from buildings ...to prevent IDF from attacking.
There needs to be a separate thread about this.....it is horrendous what they are doing to their own kids. Of course, our LSM will probably say these pics are fakes.
He’s a muzzie plus other things.
Why isn’t Israel paying for it? We should be spending money to defend our borders, not theirs.
We’ve gotten more out of our investment in IronDome than we ever got out of Solyndra.
I get emails from KE.
Addressed to: “Dear Communist”.
I’d like to see that.
Well he obviously wants Israelis Jews blown to smithereens by his Hamas buddies.
America needs a thorough disinfecting.
Vermin.
A ceasefire protects the criminal Moslems, not the decent people.
So would I.
