I just wanted to make one comment. Last month, the President made a historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
I think it is important for us in America to say to Guatemala: We support you. We commend your courage in making that decision.
Would it have been inappropriate of President Kennedy ordered Director Hoover to stop surveilling Martin Luther King Jr., in say 1962, if he believed that surveillance was illegitimate?
I do agree, Congressman, that any inappropriate use of the FISA process for political purposes is something that we should all be very concerned about and take very seriously.
I think, even more importantly, just politically, having those cases brought and being held accountable would not be something that they would look forward to doing.
I think it is going to have a good impact, and I am enthusiastically supportive of it.
That is absolutely unacceptable and American tax dollars should not go to underwrite any of that.
U.S. policy should recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital because Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for thousands of years.
Following through with the commitment to move the Embassy will demonstrate American leadership.
Let's get this done. It is the right thing to do, and when it comes--you got to remember who your friends are.
Under Israeli sovereignty, religious freedom is the rule, and the holy sites, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim, are treated with care and respect.
We have one of our strongest allies, only democracy in the Mideast, and yet we act like Jerusalem's not their capital.
Well, obviously, that should have been a part of these negotiations from the beginning, and that was put aside at the very, very outset. And I think it was a huge mistake.
I think it is pretty clear, after living under this deal, that if we continue on this course with Iran, 5 or 10 years down the road we are going to be in the same place that we are with North Korea right now...
I guess as we go forward, I think it is good to have as many people on the same page as possible, but how do we get them to be more in line with the American perspective, the Israeli perspective, the Middle East perspective of people that…
The U.S. Government promotes religious freedom because countries that effectively safeguard this human right are more stable, economically vibrant, and peaceful.
It would be terrific if this passed and there was more funding appropriated immediately for that, for genocide victims.
I mean, if we're not going to enforce this stuff, then why are we even passing it?
The right to practice your religion freely is one of the cornerstone freedoms we have in our country.
In May, when the President signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act...
