“I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding the time today. I rise today in support of the underlying legislation to put a stop to the Biden administration's policies of appeasement and stand firmly with our friend and ally, the great State of Israel. On October 7, 2023, Hamas--bankrolled by the Iranian regime with funds that could have been spent on food or medicine or other humanitarian needs of the Iranian people--murdered and kidnapped children, they raped women, and they brutalized the elderly. It was barbarism that the world hadn't seen in years. The evil we saw on display on October 7 was done at the behest of and with the resources provided by Iran's fundamentalist leaders. These are the very same leaders that call for death to Americans, Israelis, and the extermination of the Jewish state and Jews everywhere. I want to remind everyone here today that we are still American, and we still have American and Israeli hostages in Gaza. They are still being held by a terror group whose lifeline has been and continues to be Iran. Mr. Speaker, the true cost of the Biden administration's failed policies of appeasing this terrorist state is on full display. Just this weekend, Iran launched a full-scale military assault on our ally with 330 drones, low-flying cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. The time for appeasement has long since passed.…”
