Standing with Israel As It Defends Itself Against the Barbaric War Launched By Hamas and Other Terrorists

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, as a Christian, freedom-loving Texan and sitting member of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, the events in Israel these past weeks are of utmost concern, but beyond that, they should concern every American and, frankly, every member of humanity regardless of religion, ethnicity, race, gender, or political affiliation.

What we have seen in these past weeks is pure hate and pure evil. Hamas is a well-known, Iranian-backed terrorist organization whose official charter calls for the obliteration of Israel and the Jewish people.

Let's consider that for a moment. These last few weeks have been proof of their commitment to this goal.

How should we respond in the United States? The U.S. should act strategically with strength and steadiness so that those enemies of the U.S. and Israel are overwhelmed and ultimately defeated in their entirety. We must stand firmly with Israel with whatever they need.

Now is not the time for timidity. It is the time for strength and unity with Israel. Such action will help deter evil in the future, preserve life, and promote liberty.

Now is the time for us to be all in. We need to offer strength and steadiness in this time. Let us begin by standing with Israel.
