Surrounding the Israeli intervention in Gaza, there were a number of riots and attacks against Jews and against Jewish communities.

It is an honor to be a member of this subcommittee, a great pleasure to be before you.

We have seen for the first time since the end of the period before World War II mob attacks on synagogues.

It is pretty specific in 2001 what we were supposed to do.

an exceptional, I would argue, unprecedented letter from 47 of our colleagues to the Ayatollah himself that many of us believe will have the effect and has the intention of undermining the authority of the President.

Is it not true that this authorization would give the United States the ability, subject to the other restrictions in the authorization, to engage in hostilities against that organization?

But the thing is there will be another President who I may or may not trust.

I was pleased at the language in the draft from the administration defining 'associated forces,' including this limitation that it would be restricted to organizations that were actively engaged in fights against the United States.

This is a fight about principles, ideals, a way of life.

Only U.S. leadership in this crisis provides the necessary condition to ensure the sustained resolve of our allies.

I am supportive of extending defensive weapons to the Ukrainian Army, but I want to express now some questions regarding some reservations that I have about that position.

Putin has a lot of goals here, but one of them is to break Europe.

I hope the administration will make use of these authorities.
