Congress Observed Moment of Silence for Hezbollah and Its Supporters

Yesterday, members of Congress observed a moment of silence to commemorate casualties suffered by a community aligned with Bashar al-Assad in his exterminationist war against Syria’s Sunni Arab population. Last Thursday, two suicide bombers killed 46 people in Burj a-Burajneh, a Beirut neighborhood that is a well-known Hezbollah stronghold, and this Wednesday the representatives of the American people reflected.

Debbie Dingell, a Democrat from Michigan who represents Dearborn, which has a large population of Lebanese immigrants, paid tribute to three of her constituents killed in the attacks. “For me these were attacks on my town, my community,” she said.
