Leaving this thread open and locking the other one really does seem weird

I'm sure that letter was written for them.

Care to show where you found that? From the website that you linked to (http://maplight.org/us-congress/interest/J5100/view/all):

"Contributions shown for the last six years of available data, Jan 1, 2008 - Dec 31, 2013, including contributions to presidential campaigns."

Just as I will continue to do for anyone here, regardless of their position, your information is not valid nor of positive use unless you substantiate it.

Are you fucking stupid? Seriously?

Opensecrets.org
Follow the money... contributions
Mark Kirk Pro-Israel $715,160
Ben Cardin $799,665

Instead of telling me that I was linking to the wrong of the two websites you linked (which was pretty clear by my last post that I was mistaken), you chose the route of attacking my intellect. Seriously?

It doesn't matter, I'm glad one's still open to voice my opinions and to share facts with each other. The abuse hurled and received here is still nothing compared to the physical abuse people are suffering from right now - which is why we're here talking about it.

Sad to report that Hamas broke the cease fire. An hour ago (2 hours before the official end to the cease fire) rockets were fired from Gaza towards southern towns in Israel.

Agreed, but even small decisions are important when trying to understand crazy complicated world shit like this.

Hamas fired rockets or a militant wing or some other faction?
Did Hamas take credit for rocket fire?

Not sure what you mean, dancinacrossthewater - mind elaborating?

JC29856

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri in a text message denied that members of his group had fired any rockets toward Israel.

His group and the Islamic Jihad, in posts on their websites, accused Israel of breaching the cease-fire by firing on Palestinian fishermen.

Nizar Ayesh, head of the Gaza fishermen's union, told CNN that Israel's navy fired into the air Wednesday morning at about 35 fishermen. There were no injuries reported, "but the fishermen had to go out to sea because they are poor and want to make some money and bring food to their families," Ayesh said.

The Israeli military confirmed that it fired "warning shots" after "a Palestinian boat" went into part of the Mediterranean Sea that Israel considers "a closed military area."

Sorry...cnn.com

For what it's worth, RTE News is reporting that the ceasefire will be extended another 72 hours.
