“2 weeks ago, along with the gentleman from New York, I had a chance to visit in Hadassah Hospital Intensive Care Ward with several of the victims of the last atrocity in Mahane Yehuda Market, and I saw not only the pain but the indiscriminate effect of these acts of terrorism. One of the individuals we visited was an Arab boy, the other a Lutheran minister. And just as that memory seared of looking at the faces of those, and the hands still burned, of those who suffered from that atrocity, we face another atrocity at Ben Yehuda Market, and 7 deaths and over 100 wounded. There is something that can be done, not to ease the suffering of the families, but at least to say: Never again. It is time for Yassir Arafat to change that Palestinian charter the way the gentleman from New York pointed out. It is time for him to crack down on the Hamas' infrastructure the way the previous gentleman from California remarked. And it is time for Mr. Arafat to go to every Arab capital and say, Now is the time to end hatred and venom against the Jewish people from Tehran to Libya, because Israel has already made unforced territorial concessions. Mr. Speaker, there is more that the United States can do.”
