Van Hollen of Maryland and Merkley of Oregon produced the report after a week-long visit to Israel, the occupied West Bank, the Rafah border with Gaza, Jordan and Egypt at the end of August. The damning 21-page report is titled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians. America is Complicit. The World Must Stop It."
The report observed that overwhelming evidence shows “Israel is…implementing a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians and dealing a death blow to the vision of a future Palestinian state”.
Dang, I said some rude things about Merkley to friends when I heard he was one of the lawmakers heading over there. Turns out his plan was to document and report on the genocide. I take it back. Well done, him.
