I support along the lines where Congressman Poe is going. I do think that we need to be a supplier of energy to, you know, many of the nations that Russia now has a large share of the supply for.

The idea that we pay people to go to prison and the more serious the crime against society they get more money, that is ludicrous.

Israel is our great friend and ally. For over 50 years, the United States and Israeli leaders have been close friends.

This administration sometimes forgets this.

War is not the fault of those who fight it. It is the fault of those who wage it.

We have got to stop terrorist financing. It starts here.

Our common values of democracy and liberty unite us, among other things.

If the worst human rights abuse in the world is building an apartment building in the wrong place, so any mistake-- decisions made by my own city council may fit into that category--we in this room have heard such incredible human rights…

It is simply absurd for those who claim to be concerned about the Palestinians to oppose investment that creates Palestinian jobs.

Interestingly too I was in Israel recently and virtually every Israeli that you talk to wants peace...

I want to thank all three of you for your superb testimony.

Because they went to prison as a terrorist act they are getting a pension.

Crime pays. Pays very well. The more serious you commit the crime against Israelis, Americans, Western Europeans, whoever, the more they are paid.

Over the years, I have been in many hearings like this where we discuss terrorism and we discuss attacks.

The effort to boycott and delegitimize Israel is anti-Semitism, plain and simple.

I guess what I am getting out of this is that the old expression 'follow the money' is very applicable here.

It seems to me that we have been listening to the Palestinians and before, 20 years ago when I first came here it seemed to me that Israel wasn't listening.

U.S. taxpayer money should not be paying and rewarding Palestinian terrorists for doing harm and killing Israelis and Americans.
