Apparently, Kirk, the AMERICAN Senator, heard of a list of IRANIAN imprisoned dissidents from ISRELI Sharansky! If i knew that they both cared so much about human rights in far away lands i could've read to them a list of thousands of Palestinians languishing without charges in nearby ISRAELI prisons!
"... Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) spent last week on what he calls "an intense fact-finding mission to Israel where he met with Netanyahu, Fayyad, Abdullah and many others. In a soon-to-be-released report he proposes:
....an increased role for the Israeli Navy in the Indian Ocean in cooperation with India. He wants to vastly expand U.S.-Israeli cooperation on cyber security, beyond the suspected cooperation on the Stuxnet worm that has delayed Iran's uranium enrichment program. Kirk is also calling on the Joint Chiefs to review the possibility of adapting Israel's "Iron Dome" short-range missile defense system for use by the United States and NATO.(all 'peaceful measures' and then some ...) regarding the stalled Middle East peace process, Kirk maintains that the United States should reaffirm President George W. Bush's 2004 letter on borders, which somewhat contradicts Obama's May 17 statement that borders should be based on 1967 lines with agreed swaps...Kirk's report also states that U.S. funding should not go to a Palestinian government that includes Hamas, nor should the United States give aid to the Palestinian Authority if it seeks a unilateral declaration of statehood at the United Nations in September or fails to curb anti-Israel incitement in Palestinian schools. "It just seems extraordinarily difficult in the middle of deficits and debt that we should borrow money from China to fund a Hamas-supported government," Kirk said. "We would still support Palestinian schools and hospitals, but the approximately $200 million in direct support to the PA would be in jeopardy."
