As I listened to my colleagues on the other side, you would think that the White House and Republicans are mean-spirited, evil, and do not really care about the American public. I think it would be refreshing to listen to a Special Order that actually projects a vision. I wish it was my vision, Madam Speaker, but there are many great men that have tried to work on this, and the good news is that it is achievable. History has witnessed great men with a vision accomplishing some very difficult tasks, and that vision is a safe and secure Israel. That vision is a Palestine that lives in peace beside its neighbor, Israel. It is a vision that says that the Muslim world can be supportive of both Palestine and Israel. And to make this happen, I want to go through this vision. I am just a Member of Congress. I do not have the power to bring this to fruition.
