Governor Paterson issued a statement today on the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas, saying “I hope and pray for a peaceful solution for both sides and I strongly condemn Hamas for breaking the current ceasefire.”
He added, “I believe the Israeli people, under constant attack from the Palestinian territories, have a right to protect themselves and I stand with them as they fight to defend the basic rights of humanity.
“I traveled to Israel in 2007 and I discovered firsthand what I had always known to be true – Israel is an extraordinary democracy blessed with very courageous citizens who refuse to live their lives in fear. New Yorkers have experienced the horror of terrorism; we must not and will not let senseless acts of terror undermine our commitment and resolve to fight for democratic principles both at home and around the world.”

Blowhard! Get the State running! Your pandering opinion on foreign affairs or who should play left field for the Mets or your advice on space exploration are all of no use to us. Get the damned fiscal crisis in order and tell Shelly Silver that YOU are the governor (for as long as it lasts)
