Monday, November 9, marks the 77th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the event that would foreshadow the crimes against humanity that the Nazis would commit against 6 million Jews and other religious and ethnic minorities. Inspired by…

Today I rise to support the Step Forward to Cure TSC 5K Walk taking place at Florida International University's main campus, my alma mater, on Saturday, November 14. Tuberous sclerosis complex, or TSC, is a rare genetic disease with no…

The President seems to be running out the clock until it is someone else's problem, and I don't think history will look kindly on the choices that this administration has made on the Syria issue.

Today I would like to honor the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of Kendall and Coral Gables for supporting individuals who are suffering from these diseases in South Florida. The stigma that surrounds depression and bipolar…

This Monday, November 9, marks the 77th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation will be commemorating this tragic and horrible event with a community rally on Sunday, November 15, at 4…

I continue to be extremely frustrated by the administration's inability to implement or even articulate a strategy in Syria or in the Middle East as a whole.

I want to thank the task force members, of which I am humbled to be just a small part, Congresspersons Chris Smith, Kay Granger, Peter Roskam, Eliot Engel, Nita Lowey, Ted Deutch, and Steve Israel, all of us working together to highlight…

I want to thank the chairman of our committee, Mr. Royce, for his help in bringing this resolution to the floor after the markup in the subcommittee and the full committee. I want to thank Mr. Engel for his steadfast support of doing…

Before I yield to Mr. Salmon, I ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from California (Mr. Royce), the esteemed chairman of our committee, who is here with us now, manage the rest of the bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection…

For years, I have been pushing for the United States to reexamine its relationship with UNRWA, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency. UNRWA employs individuals affiliated with Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization that openly and…

Sadly, when the PA incites violence and we see a terror attack or continued increase in violent activity, as we have seen over the last month and a half, we find this wrong reflexive response from the international community to make a…

This resolution, which I introduced alongside my friend and south Florida colleague, Congressman Ted Deutch, condemns anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement.

the PLO has outlived its usefulness. It is no longer actually a partner in peace.

What we have seen for far too long from the Palestinian Authority and Abu Mazen words and actions that are designed to incite violence.

The Palestinians need a leader who is willing to reach peace instead of inciting violence and that man has never been nor will ever be Abu Mazen.

This morning an initiative aimed at delegitimatizing Israel was defeated at UNESCO. Abu Mazen is set to head to the U.N. Human Rights Council for an emergency meeting next week where he will surely spew more of his dangerous rhetoric and…

The United States and Israel share the same principles and values: fundamental ideas like freedom, democracy, respect for the rule of law, and human rights. Our nations also share, sadly, the same security concerns, like fighting terrorism…

the administration's policies in the Middle East and particularly with respect to Syria have been in a shambles.

This October marks the 10th annual National Bullying Prevention Month, and with it comes an opportunity to bring visibility to an issue that negatively impacts thousands of students in our schools and communities every day. Instead of…

This morning, the United Nations will take yet another action that only serves to further undermine the prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians and underscores the lengths to which the United Nations and many of its member…

If we didn't already have enough proof that the Palestinian Authority is not an honest partner for peace with Israel, Abu Mazen's speech at the U.N. General Assembly today confirmed it and showed that he is a self-serving autocrat who is…

Yesterday, we witnessed thugs, tyrants, and dictators from Russia, Iran, and Cuba speak before the General Assembly at the United Nations; and with straight faces, each claimed to be defenders of peace, of international standards, of human…
