The following is from an email sent out by Rep King.
Dear Colleague,
As you know, The United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a resolution calling for an investigation into Israel’s interception of a Gaza-bound flotilla. Member countries have continually attacked Israel’s right to defend itself and they have now approved a resolution that condemns Israel for its commandeering of the ships.
We cannot stand idly by while propaganda and political correctness confuse the basic right of Israel to defend itself. That is why I am immediately introducing legislation that will:
*Remove the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council
*Dictate that the United States may not contribute to the United Nations any funds to be used to pay for an investigation into the flotilla incident
*Express the sense of Congress that:
· The United States stands with the Israeli government and its people
· The United States supports Israel’s unconditional right to defend itself
· The United States supports Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza
· The United States should oppose any UN investigation into the flotilla incident

KOL HAKOVOD Mr. King! You are a true friend of Israel and a true citizen of humanity!
The U.N. Human Rights Council has been taken over by very simple racists and bigots. They use the human rights council for a tool to create injustice on purpose simply because they have the numbers to do so. The human rights council has nothing at all to do with human rights.
They’re allowing a group of people to steal rights away from a minority. Theyre exactly like a group of bullies beating up and robbing someone because hes alone and vulnerable.
All of these antisemitic actions should be charged. The accusers need to receive the punishment that the innocent would have received, its the only way. They must have a reflex organization to charge charges.
Perhaps Mr. King would rather serve as a politician in Israel; his efforts against his ‘country’ should be seen as treasonous.
