"Mr. Speaker, I join my colleagues today from both sides of the aisle to stand with the people of Israel in support of their sovereign right to defend themselves against Hamas terror.

"Over the past year alone, Hamas has launched approximately 900 rockets and artillery shells from Gaza into Israel's civilian neighborhoods. My colleagues, think for just a minute whether or not rockets were coming from Mexico or from Canada -- we would not stand for it for one minute. This week we saw Hamas fire rockets that struck as far north as Tel Aviv, and today we have disturbing reports that at least one rocket hit near Jerusalem, the seat of Israel's government and a city holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. That Hamas would specially target Israel's parliament building, as reports indicate, shows the great disregard Hamas has for the very idea of democracy -- which does not exist in Gaza.

"By strengthening United States' relationship with Israel, this Congress will send a powerful message to Hamas and all in the region who would cause Israel harm. The right of self-defense cannot be allowed to go unexercised by a government dedicated to the protection of its people.

"We will stand with Israel, and we will also, Mr. Speaker -- and I thank you for the time -- lament the loss of life of Palestinians. Every life is important. So it is not that we stand insensitive to the lives of Palestinians. But they need to stop the violence and the attacks. Israel has the right to defend itself, and we will stand with them."

    And all the while Israel with F-16's, tanks and warships bombarded the living hell out of Gaza. So who is the "terrorist" when majority of Hamas rockets fail to do damage, and Israeli govt declares intention to bombard Gaza back to the middle ages? No proportionality. America has disgraced herself by siding with the immigrant nation committing a massacre on the indigenous population who do not have even 1 plane, not 1 tank and not 1 war ship with which to defend themselves, let alone media.
