On the recordNovember 30, 2023
I thank the gentleman, my friend from Michigan, General Bergman, for his indulgence and his generosity. Mr. Speaker, I close by reminding the American public the names and faces you saw tonight are only a fraction of those who remain held hostage in Gaza by cowardly terrorists, by Hamas. I hope every American understands that Israel is fighting to protect her citizens from this diabolic terrorist organization and to rescue her hostages. There is only one culprit to blame for this war, and that is Hamas. Their singular goal is to destroy Israel and kill Jews. Mr. Speaker, this Chamber has always and will always continue to stand strong with Israel and work to release these victims from terrorist tyranny and support, preventing an attack like this from being perpetrated against Israel by Hamas ever again. ``Am Yisrael Chai,'' ``The people of Israel live.''
