The Dahlan Lobby in Washington, DC Speaks
"ATFP deplored the disproportionate force employed by Israel and expressed deep concern for the well-being of the innocent civilian population in Gaza. ATFP also reiterated its demand that the reckless and provocative rocket attacks aimed at Israel immediately stop." So the lobby wants Israel to use only "proportionate" force when it bombs Gaza. Not to be outdone, the James Zogby shop issued a statement and it stressed that: "the stupidity of Hamas' reckless behavior cannot be excused because of the continued danger such ill-considered actions pose to the security and well-being of its own constituents."
