Anti-Israel, Pro-Terrorist Lobbying From the Marquette Center for Peacemaking
We are on the email list of the Marquette Center for Peacemaking, a leftist activist program at Marquette. We got an e-mail today from that organization that contained this message:
Which shows something (not that this hasn’t been obvious for ages) about “peace” as a political slogan.
The people who cry “peace” really mean that the side they don’t like should quit fighting and surrender. During the Cold War, they wanted America to disarm, but showed only slight and pro-forma disapproval of Soviet arms buildups.
And here, “peace” is interpreted as support for Hamas. For these folks, peace does not mean that Hamas should stop lobbing rockets into Israel. To them, it has never meant that Palestinians should stop terrorist acts against Israel.
They aren’t about peace at all, but about leftist politics, and their use of the word “peace” is absurdly hypocritical.
Senator Wants US-Israeli Op Against FlotillaOf course, the purpose of the “flotilla” is to aid the terroist regime of Hamas, which controls Gaza.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., says the United States should “make available all necessary special operations and naval support to the Israeli Navy to effectively disable flotilla vessels before they can pose a threat to Israeli coastal security or put Israeli lives at risk.”

1.) Please call Senator Kirk’s office and encourage him to rethink his position regarding using US Navy forces to stop the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza. Instead, ask him to protest the flotilla so they can deliver aid and goodwill to the people of Gaza.
Contact Senator Kirk
2.) Midwest activists please call and e-mail the Greek Consulate in Chicago at (312) 335-3915 and tell them (in a civil manner): LET THE BOATS IN THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA SAIL! If you do not live in the Midwest you can find the nearest Greek Consulate by doing a search on Google.

I don't doubt that this claim is true. Regardless, it should be substantiated with evidence.

C'mon dave, do you really need evidence for the obvious. It is only liberals who always demand more and more evidence when they are losing an argument. I am sure after Clinton apologized for having sex "with that woman", you were still demanding evidence.
If not the evidence I was looking for, then certainly a grin-inducing bit of synchronicity: http://www.slate.com/id/2298332/pagenum/all/
