It has been nearly a week, and there is still no trace of the three Israeli boys who were kidnapped presumably by Hamas, the terrorist organization. Our hearts go out to their families, and we hope that they will be found. One of them is an American citizen, Naftali Frenkel. The others, Eyal Yifrach and Gilad Shaar, the whole world is praying for their safe return. Madam Speaker, this shows the brutality of the terrorists, the brutality of an organization like Hamas which takes three young people--innocent young people--and God only knows what they have done with them. I think it is important that we keep our vigil. It is important that we keep them in our thoughts and prayers, and it is important that this country continues to lead the fight against the scourge of terrorism around the world. Let's pray for their safe return. ____________________
