I have said should be replaced with the notion of being the Useless Nations because you had Resolution 2231, the nuclear JCPOA that was set up to try and keep Iran from funding and continuing terrorism.

does our aid, does our foreign policy support what we want out of each individual country?

I think this is something that needs to be accounted for as we are looking, if we are looking at, for example, the Limit, Save, Grow Act.

To not do it is simply irresponsibility against the commitments that we have made.

Personally, in my opinion, I think we should create a thirteenth appropriation bill that specifically accounts just for disaster supplemental appropriations.

What was just said is fundamentally false, Mr. Ranking Member.

The amount of teleworking in Washington is astronomical. We all know post-pandemic it is nearly impossible to get an employee of a Federal agency on the phone because they are still working in their homes and not in the office. Perhaps…

I thank the gentleman and the submariner up front. That is a special kind of service, no doubt about it. I thank the chairman for his work on this legislation, for helping to bring it to the floor, and for his work in helping to make sure…

I want to speak specifically, as both sides have mentioned, as to what goes on in this education within these UNRWA/Palestinian Authority-run schools. People can find images of these. Nobody is going to be able to see them on camera. Let's…

I will address some of the comments that were brought up about the bill and exemptions, and exemptions that do not exist. I think it is important to recognize there are some exemptions. There are exemptions for food and medicine. Those…

I just wanted to rise in support and say thank you for the great work on this piece of legislation. It is very important, as both sides have spoken about, the idea if you were to make a comparison, such as if a farmer had to be sanctioned…

the only way we are going to counter that is by actually getting good foreign policy.

We are leading the charge on our side to make them less effective, to tell the truth about our story.

the Palestinians that conducted this attack on Israel, they did not do it by themselves.

I would challenge anybody in here to point to me which Palestinian is Hamas and which one is an innocent civilian.

Hamas is literally Palestinians.

You have put forward strong, unapologetic policies that is necessary for the United States of America to be the United States of America.

It is time to stop educating Palestinian children for death and terrorism.

I believe that I am worthy to speak simply because I am an American.

I hope yourself and some others also take the time to apply that same rationale to the Biden Administration's policies on domestic oil production.

I have an amendment in the nature of a substitute.

I disagree with your amendment. And the purpose of submitting any piece of legislation is to make the bill better.

The equivalency that is being made here would be like trying to separate the bulk of the German population from those that were Nazis in World War II.

Any support to these war criminals is indefensible.

In my opinion, it is age discrimination.
