Below is a link to my first full article in response to this summer=C2=92s =
war in Gaza, in which I offer a detailed examination of a series of resolut=
ions and public letters supported by a bipartisan majority in Congress prov=
iding unqualified backing for the massive Israeli air and ground assault in=
 language directly contradicting findings by Israeli and international huma=
n rights groups. I argue that most of these go beyond the usual perfunctory=
 =C2=93pro-Israel=C2=94 resolutions and are actually part of a larger effor=
t to undermine international humanitarian law and justify the large scale k=
illing of civilians in the name of =C2=93fighting terrorism.=C2=94=20

http://www.progressive.org/news/2014/07/187771/netanyahus-ugly-game-gaza
* From this past June, an analysis of the failure of the U.S.-led peace tal=
ks which set the stage for the carnage: http://fpif.org/u-s-culpability-fai=
