Just say 'thanks'

Editor:
In your editorial "Get off the fence" (Jewish News, July 16), you ask your readers to urge their representatives in the U.S. House to support aid to Israel.

There is something more that they can do: We all know the International Court of Justice in The Hague recently declared Israel's security fence illegal and must be dismantled. The House of Representatives prepared a resolution condemning that decision.

Arizona congressmen voting "yes" included J.D. Hayworth, Rick Renzi, Jim Kolbe, John Shadegg and Jeff Flake. Those voting "no" included Raul Grijalva and Ed Pastor.

Let's thank those who voted "yes" and express our disappointment to those who voted "no."
