Expressing the Sense of Congress Supporting the State of Israel

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. NUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this resolution and the State of Israel.

I compliment both the chair for leading this, Mr. McCaul, as well as my colleague, Representative Pfluger, for being brave enough to stand forward and call out Israel not only as an ally, but as standing in that steely breach as a force for democracy, as a force for freedom, and a voice for free people in a world too often tried time and time again by tyrants and terrorists.

Our support for Israel is critical during times of global uncertainty and continued aggression by adversaries around both the region and the world.

When I worked with the Israeli Defense Forces, I saw the threats firsthand from the Golan Heights to the north to the kibbutzes in the south.

Across the world, we must reject anti-Semitism in all its forms and stand with Israel and the people of Israel against these threats. We cannot let our strongest ally in the Middle East be left alone.

Mr. Speaker, I will continue in my unwavering support of Israel and encourage my colleagues to join me.
