2010-31-5 Gaza Blockade: Burris, Durbin, Obama, Schakowsky

I was saddened this morning to hear of the naval convoy intercepted off the Gaza coast and the subsequent deaths and injuries of humanitarian aid workers and Israeli soldiers. I applaud the Obama Administration's call for an investigation of this incident. I hope that you will request that a neutral investigation be carried out with due diligence and expediency and that you use the results of that investigation to help formulate our military aid policy towards Israel.

While I understand the importance of helping Israel protect its citizens I implore you to do everything in your power to ensure that not a single cent of my tax dollars is used to stifle human rights in Gaza or anywhere else.

Thank you for your service to the people of Illinois,

-HW
