The state cannot single out religious schools for exclusion while welcoming everyone else into the charter school program.

I think the Donald Trump has and the Republican Party have done things that the Democrats have not done, being aggressive against the outrageous, almost insane level of antisemitism on college campuses.

The DeFazio amendment only deals with our money, not their money. There is every indication that Iraq will remain part of OPEC, will remain part of a monopoly that taxes Americans to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.

I would hope that in the conference process that we are about to enter that there is an acknowledgment that OPEC membership and limitation on production capacity is problematic for the United States of America, and we need to focus on that.

The reality of how bad and awful that is, Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority have been as bad and maybe even worse to their own people, indiscriminately killing people in just no type of civil process at all, destruction of an…

As we reviewed them, we asked exactly those questions. Some of them were stolen Israeli weapons. Some of them were American weapons stolen or gotten through a third party. A lot of them were smuggled either through the tunnels from the…

Again, I will try to use some of these posters today, but this again is a sample of literally weapons, just a fraction of the weapons collected that could fill this Chamber, machine guns, sniper rifles, mortar guns, anti-tank weapons, none…

This is just a very small cache of mortars which obviously are illegal under the Oslo Accord.

But it is interesting, much has been made in terms of who voted against it, why they voted against it, but there were Democrats and Republicans. Again, less than 15 percent of the Congress, but I am going to quote from one of our…

Generations of Palestinians and Israelis have suffered in the region, but the violence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict cannot be examined or addressed in isolation of decades of occupation of millions of Palestinians. I think it ties…

If I can just add, I think one of the important things to note from an historical basis is that at no time during that 1,800- year exodus was there not a Jewish presence in the area of Palestine or what has become the modern state of…

We literally, across the country, we have had Members throughout America today speak from the heart about what their connection and their hopes and their prayers are this evening.

I think he stands almost alone in this Chamber, but clearly in a unique position, as someone who is incredibly insightful about world events and incredibly insightful about the evil that exists in the world, incredibly insightful about…

I believe there is no one in this Congress who is more personally committed to Israel's survival than her, and I have traveled to Israel with her and I have seen her action, her feeling. And especially from someone with her background who…

This is actually a list of weapons that were uncovered or captured by the Israelis since April 1 in their incursions into places like Jenin and Ramallah, and it is an amazing list from April 1. Weapons obviously in violation of Oslo…

In Israel today, it is Israel Independence Day, the 54th anniversary of the modern state of Israel. I mentioned the 54th anniversary of the creation of the modern state of Israel, and there is a time line that is relevant that hopefully…

Actually in the month of March alone it was not 50. It was 150 Israelis that got killed. So in fact, in the month of March, just this past month Israel sustained the equivalent of three 9/11s, and I think if we can just imagine what the…

For the last several days every day there have been artillery attacks from Lebanon to northern Israel. When Colin Powell and the President are calling for a cease fire, that is a cease fire they should be calling for. That is a border that…

And let me go through the chart, which I think is interesting. Chairman Arafat is part of the Fatah organization. Actually, I believe the gentleman has a chart, as well, which is very interesting and relevant to this. The Fatah…

Israel wants a peace partner. Israel wants to have peace. Israel offered what we have discussed previously. They have negotiated with Chairman Arafat. But I think what has occurred in the present time is not that Arafat might or might not…

I plead with my Republican colleagues, I plead for them at so many different levels, that without the confidence in the airlines, there was a reason why we chose the airline industry to provide relief to. There are other issues that we can…

April 1, 1999. Florida, the State of Florida, has an unusual driver's license. You do not get rephotographed. There is a sticker on the back that you can take a look at, which is when you renew it you actually get a sticker that you put on…

I want each of us as Members to think about, and I think my colleague, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Greenwood), did this as well as I have heard anyone ever do on this floor, think about some of the most awful stories of the human…

I agree with the gentlewoman 100 percent, which is one of the reasons to defeat this rule. In my 9 years in this Chamber, this is the least informed collectively that the 435 Members of this body have ever been on any issue, and in many…
