Where do your Senators stand regarding Israel and Palestine?
This site might give you an idea. I feel lucky; my Senators appear to be far more supportive of the Palestinians than most. I really deplore how one sided the Congress is.

1. Thanks, this is interesting....
I was not surprised to see Sununu's rating after hearing him on WJ this morning! BUT, that vote on the Senate resolution condemning Hezballah and supporting Israel's right to defend itself yesterday was done with a VOICE vote.....so those of us interested in how our senators voted is an unknown. Cowards!

2. Yeah, that was really infuriating.
Also completely unfair to the voting public.

4. Well, I know where Harry Reid and the party stands.

I just heard his statement on my car radio on the way home. They stand with * and the Rs in supporting Israel's continued hammering of the Lebanese people. Basically, he was saying that the Dems support Israel's all out onslaught until they've wiped out Hezbollah, then it will be time for diplomacy. So how the hell are we supposed to know when Hezbollah has been wiped out?

6. I agree that the Senate resolution was both
despicable and disheartening, but clearly some Senators and reps are better on the issue historically, than others.
