Hamas is still in power and rearming for another conflict, as opposed to building infrastructure for agriculture, economy, and education. In Sederot the children and others still suffer the tragic effects of post traumatic syndrome and know that any day the rockets could start to fall again. Obviously they are suffering in Gaza also as Egypt covertly tries to build an underground wall at the Rafah Crossing, and Israel has a blockade trying to stop Iranian made arms from entering. Many intelligence analysts and military experts warn of another conflict erupting in Gaza very soon. I for one think there’s nothing to celebrate and for Ellison to somehow try to tie in Gaza to MLK day is truly offensive. One should remind Ellison of this little inconvenient MLK quote “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism.” Isn’t it just a bit presumptive to celebrate the end of the Gaza war?

Ellison." I agree with you, Jenna (Zark). I think the author’s tongue was firmly in cheek in being “glad to join Rep. Ellison.”

While I think your post extremely charitable, I cannot help but question Representative Ellison's motives in "celebrating" the "end of the Gaza War." It seems more like pandering to a local anti-Israeli constituency to this reader than concern over years of rocket attacks endured by Israeli civilians.
