End the Israeli Occupation of the Capitol and both War Parties.
From: Jeff Blankfort
Subject: ZOG Report: Houses urges charges against Ahmadinejad

 Israel and its lobby marches on, 411 to 2. Having sanctified Israel's
four decades of occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and three
invasions of Lebanon, is there any more proof required that Congress
is Israel's most important occupied territory?

Houses urges charges against Ahmadinejad

 The U.S. House of Representatives urged the U.N. Security Council to
charge Iran's president under genocide conventions.

 The non-binding resolution, initiated by Reps. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and
Steve Rothman (D-N.J.), passed Wednesday by 411-2. It cites an Oct. 27
speech in which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad allegedly called for Israel to be
"wiped off the map" in its call for the Security Council to charge him
under its 1948 convention for the prevention of genocide.

 Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) attempted to have read into the record
alternate translations of Ahmadinejad's remarks that suggest the
Iranian leader was calling Israel to come to an end through democratic
means, and not through violence.

 "I am unequivocal in my support for the security and survival of
Israel, and I do have serious concerns with the remarks made by
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran," said Kucinich, a long-shot
candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. "But I object to
resolutions that lay the groundwork for an offensive, unprovoked war."

 One of the alternate translations was by the Middle East Media
Research Institute.

 Kucinich and Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), a long-shot contender for the
Republican presidential nomination, were the only votes against.
