Exactly right. That is a very good picture illustrating the point. What the Israelis seized were anti-tank missiles, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, rockets, all in complete violation of the Oslo Accord. All there, as our friend, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Kingston), said, who identified himself as a sportsman, not there for sporting purposes, not there for hunting game during the doe season with a license from your local State government, but they are to kill people. That was the purpose of those weapons. And the suicide vest that the gentleman identified a few pictures ago was the exact type of vest used in an attempt to kill Gila Weiss and that did kill six of the people that she was standing around with, total strangers.
