As Israeli Forces Open Fire on Unarmed Palestinians, Jimmy Panetta Helps "Congratulate" Israel
Congressman Jimmy Panetta, who represents California's central coast, was a member of a Democratic congressional delegation that visited Israel on March 26 to congratulate the nation on the 70th anniversary of the establishment of its government. “Our delegation is pleased to be able to extend the congratulations of the American people to the people of Israel as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Jewish state this spring,” Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the delegation stated ahead of the March 26 visit. “There is no greater political accomplishment in the 20th Century than the establishment of the State of Israel,” she stated on behalf of the Democrats. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted that he had an "excellent meeting" in Jerusalem with the congressional delegation, and included a picture of himself with Panetta and the other delegation members.
