Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - The U.S. would never put up with the kind of terror attacks being launched against Israel and would have bombed the Palestinians a long time ago, a visiting U.S. congressman said here.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) spoke after visiting the site of Sunday's suicide bus bombing on a busy Jerusalem street. The attack killed eight people and injured more than 50. MORE (http://www.cnsnews.com//ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=\ForeignBureaus\archive\200402\FOR20040223c.html)

The problem with bombing Gaza would be the one million Palestinians cramed into a small area, it would be a political and military disaster, and frustrating because Gaza is the cover for the terrorist orginzation Hamas.

This hasn't stopped the US government from criticising Israeli responses to the bombings from time to time, or am I wrong?

[SeanAshi]

The United States knows that Israel has the right to defend it self, at most just show resriant.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) seems to turn things upside down.

Don't trust anything a politician says.
