That's true, former US Congressman Justin Amash, of West Michigan, a Tea Party Republican elected first in the 2010 wave election, was Eastern Orthodox, a holdover christian sect still in the region, with family in Gaza. He was notable as having supported the impeachments of the president in the first term.
As such, it was more than a little suspicious when in the first weeks of the final solution to the gazan ghetto's uprising, when his ten or so relatives were huddled in their eastern orthodox church for safety, they were bombed and all killed.
In truth they were doing the president a favor. They knew what they were doing. Just as they know what they are doing when the kill the families of journalists, or anyone that talks to western media, etc.
