Dem Rep. Pocan: Israeli ‘Over-Response’ Is ‘Shooting a Fish in a Barrel’ — ‘Our Bombs’ Might Have Caused Gaza Carnage

‘At the same time, you can’t have the over-response, the collective punishment that’s coming out of Israel back to the citizenry’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

POCAN: “Well, I think there’s going to be a big question on the floor. Part of the supplemental that comes to us will probably have funding for Ukraine and for Israel and other things, but it’s also supposed to have humanitarian assistance. I yesterday heard that humanitarian assistance may be incredibly pale and, if that’s the case, I think there are some of us who are willing to vote against a supplemental if we can’t provide money. If our bombs just created what it’s created in Gaza in many cases, we have a responsibility to provide humanitarian assistance back. And I think it’s really important that the White House and others are hearing that, because there’s a lot of damage and a lot of hurt. There’s 2.2 million people in Gaza they’re not allowed to leave. I mean, think about it. You’ve heard of the ‘shooting a fish in a barrel’ line before. That’s essentially what’s happening right now. And if we don’t provide adequate assistance, we’re not living up to what United States is about when it comes to helping people across the globe.”
