House and Senate ♥ Israel

By nemski January 11, 200921 Comments

Both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate passed resolutions this week supporting Israel and their fight against Hamas. Both Castle and Carper voted in favor of their chamber’s resolution.

The first four points of the House Resolution pretty much some up why Hamas will never get the support of the US Government.

Recognizing Israel’s right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza, reaffirming the United States strong support for Israel, and supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Whereas Hamas was founded with the stated goal of destroying the State of Israel;

Whereas Hamas has been designated by the United States as a Foreign Terrorist Organization;

Whereas Hamas has refused to comply with the Quartet’s (the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations) requirements that Hamas recognize Israel’s right to exist, renounce violence, and agree to accept previous agreements between Israel and the Palestinians

Full texts of both resolutions below the fold.
