,The House, displaying a foreign affairs solidarity lacking on issues like Iraq, voted overwhelmingly Thursday to support Israel in its confrontation with Hezbollah guerrillas.
The resolution, which was passed on a 410-8 vote, also condemns enemies of the Jewish state.
House Republican leader John Boehner cited Israel's "unique relationship" with the United States as a reason for his colleagues to swiftly go on record supporting Israel in the latest flare-up of violence in the Mideast.
Little of the political divisiveness in Congress on other national security issues was evident as lawmakers embraced the Bush administration's position.

Israel is doing the killing of arab civilians and America gets the 9/11. Syria and Iran can literally "wipe Israel off the face of the map" if they wanted to, but America and its pet (Britain) will interfere using military action. Israel could wipe the whole of lebanon, and no one would do a damned thing.

Politically only, if Israel wanted to exterminate every last arab on the peninsula, they have the military strength.
