One of the things that we witnessed in our visit to Israel was in a sense the proof on the other side, and this is one of many pictures that we have. One of the opportunities we had was to view just a fraction of the weapons that were seized during the incursion, about 10 percent of the weapons. In this Chamber, if we added all the weapons that we saw, it would probably fill this entire Chamber. Weapons of mortars, and I will show some additional pictures of machine guns and sniper rifles. But I think the most evil was literally witnessing suicide vests, and they are not kids creating suicide vests. I mean as we saw them, and my colleagues can see in the picture, they are commercially made. We actually saw different versions, summer versions, winter versions, autumn versions so that they would not be seen.
