Clarke, Dems, Vote against Pro-Israel Resolution
Yesterday, 33 Democrats voted “no” and 20 Democrats voted “present” on House Resolution 867, which condemned the “Goldstone report” on Israel’s conduct in Gaza last winter. The final roll call vote on the House floor was 344 for, 36 against, and 22 present.
H. Res. 867, introduced by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, calls on the Obama administration to oppose efforts by the Arab states in the UN General Assembly and other international forums to use the Goldstone report as a propaganda tool and a diplomatic weapon to attack Israel. In all, 21 percent of the Democratic caucus did not support this pro-Israel measure, including Crown Heightses representative Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke.
