I oppose this resolution as a United States citizen because it harms us. We have a moral responsibility for both sides in the Middle East conflict, as we provide aid to Arab nations and Israel. However, American weapons and funds are being used to kill Palestinians. Our intervention in areas like Gaza often leads to blowback. Hamas was initially encouraged by Israel to counteract Arafat, but we wanted to impose our democratic system on the world. We encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, which resulted in Hamas becoming dominant. It doesn't make sense that we indirectly and directly helped establish Hamas and now have to kill them. In the past, we allied with Osama bin Laden and financed madrasa schools to radicalize Muslims. There are many reasons to oppose this resolution.

The House passed a bill to fund a regime to harm Palestinians and cut aid until 2025. Funding will be further cut if an investigation is initiated against Israel for crimes. The US is stopping aid to starving Palestinians. The government ignores constituents and human rights, condemning other countries for war crimes while supporting them. This is evil and hypocritical. Gaza suffers from a famine we finance, causing deaths daily.

I don't advocate for America fighting wars for Israel. Israel is capable of defending itself, but if it's pushed to a corner, there's a risk of nuclear conflict. That's why it's crucial for the United States to offer support to Israel.

The speaker discusses the moral responsibility the US holds in the conflict in Gaza, as American weapons and funds are being used. They mention how US intervention has led to unintended consequences, such as the rise of Hamas. The speaker criticizes US actions in the Middle East, including supporting radical groups like Hamas and Osama bin Laden in the past. They argue against a resolution that they believe is not in the best interest of the US or Israel.

Israel encouraged and started Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. The speaker claims this served Israel's purpose at the time. The U.S. imposes its system on the world, such as invading Iraq to teach people how to be Democrats. The U.S. encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, and they elected Hamas. The speaker asserts the U.S. indirectly and directly, through Israel, helped establish Hamas. After Hamas became dominant through the election, the U.S. then had to kill them. The speaker concludes this does not make sense.

I know war, and what’s happening in Palestine is not a war; it’s genocide and ethnic cleansing aimed at taking land from a specific people. This is fundamentally wrong. As an American and a patriot, I feel compelled to speak out against this injustice. The fact that US taxpayers are funding this situation adds to the frustration. We must put an end to this.

I fully support the right of self-defense, whether it's in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, the United States, or Britain. If someone from another country came and threatened my land and family, I would defend my country too. However, I won't ignore the fact that the United States government is the biggest terrorist on the planet. Hamas doesn't recognize Israel's right to exist, which reminds me of Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress rejecting apartheid. For Israel to be a true partner in peace, it needs to abandon its ideology of Zionism and treat all people equally. Only then can we expect Hamas to acknowledge Israel. Until then, I see no difference between Hamas and Nelson Mandela's stance on apartheid.

I used to support Israel, but after witnessing the situation in Gaza, I can no longer stand with them. While I don't condone Hamas, I can't condemn the Palestinian people either. The more I learned, the worse it got. Israel has been continuously punishing the Palestinians, not caring about civilian lives. They bomb and slaughter them to break their spirit, not just the terrorists. Their goal is to make the Palestinians stop resisting Israeli occupation. The more I dig, the more I realize that Israel's position is indefensible.

I am an Israeli disappointed by President Biden for pushing a ceasefire when we are close to victory in the war against Hamas. Biden's actions risk giving Hamas credit for a win, similar to rewarding Al Qaeda after defeating them. We need support to protect our Jewish state and Judeo-Christian values.

The speaker opposes a resolution that condemns violence because it endorses a foreign policy they do not support. They suggest that instead of taking sides, the United States should prioritize its own interests and be neutral. They propose defunding both sides of the conflict and argue that providing financial support only leads to unintended consequences and does not bring about peace. The speaker believes that the current policy in the Middle East is doomed to fail and that the U.S. should not intervene or impose demands. They urge for equal condemnation of violence and express their belief that both sides use American funds for harmful actions. The speaker concludes by urging a vote against the resolution.

It's late at night. Israel is in a fight for their lives. Our friends in Israel are surrounded by people who would kill them all if they could. I am tired of the word genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could. They have the capability to do that. They choose not to. Hamas, they would commit genocide in thirty seconds. They just can't. Israel is our friend. They're the most reliable friend we have in the Mideast. A word of warning, if America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. October 7 was an effort to destroy the state of Israel, the largest loss of Jewish life since the holocaust. and here we are almost two years later, and Israel's the bad guy.

Your Palestine pathway program includes two Israeli budget bills. If you truly support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, how can you justify this? I come from Gaza, and it is a part of all of us. I apologize for expressing this, but I feel compelled to speak out. I am proud to be here and to discuss the ongoing situation in my city, which is unfolding every moment.

What's happening in The Middle East, in particular with Gaza right now, we have some more responsibility for both sides in a way because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. And so we definitely have a moral responsibility, and especially now today, the weapons being used to kill so many Palestinians are American weapons, and American funds is essentially are being used for this. But there's a political liability, which I think is something that we fail to look at because too often there's so much blowback from our intervention in areas that we shouldn't be involved in. Hamas, if you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. And he said, well, that was better then and served his purpose, but we didn't want Hamas to do this. Then we have election, then Hamas becomes dominant, so we have to kill him.

I am an Israeli disappointed in President Biden for pushing a ceasefire when we are winning the war against Hamas. Biden's actions could lead to Hamas being credited with victory. It's like giving Al Qaeda a state after defeating them. We need support to protect our Jewish state with Judeo-Christian values.

Why are we, as American taxpayers, funding social programs in Israel that many Americans oppose here at home? With our tax dollars, Israel can provide its citizens with monthly child allowances, income support, unemployment benefits, housing assistance, free healthcare, and free education through university. Yet, many of us are against universal healthcare and free education in our own country. It doesn't make sense to me that we can fund these things for Israelis but not for our own people. And this doesn't even consider the military assistance we provide, which seems to allow Israel to act without consequences, despite our financial support.

In the Middle East, it's time to stop apologizing for supporting Israel. There's no need for apologies because our support for Israel is a valuable investment of $3 billion. Without Israel, the United States would have to create it to safeguard its interests in the region.

Speaker 0 argues that the United States bears responsibility for the conflict in The Middle East, particularly Gaza, because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. He states that American weapons are being used to kill many Palestinians and that American funds are essentially supporting this, creating a moral responsibility. He also highlights a political liability, noting that there is blowback from interventions in areas where the U.S. should not be involved. Regarding Hamas, he claims that history shows Hamas was encouraged and started by Israel to counter Yasser Arafat, and while that served a purpose at the time, the U.S. did not want Hamas to emerge. He describes a sequence in which, after asserting that the U.S. has a good system and aims to impose democracy globally, the U.S. pushes for free elections, which leads Palestinians to elect Hamas. He asserts that the U.S. helped establish Hamas indirectly and directly through Israel, and after Hamas becomes dominant, the U.S. then feels compelled to kill Hamas, describing it as illogical. In the 1980s, he notes that the U.S. was allied with Osama bin Laden while contending with the Soviets. He says that our CAA (likely CIA) believed it was beneficial to radicalize the Muslim world to compete with the Soviets, financing Madrasa schools to radicalize Muslims. He argues that this policy produced significant blowback. He concludes that there are many reasons to oppose a certain resolution, stating that it is not in the interest of the United States and not in the interest of Israel either.

Today, the speaker discusses the common debate of being pro-Israel or pro-Arab, but suggests a third option: being pro-American. They argue that the best interest of the United States is to remain neutral and not involve themselves in conflicts they cannot solve. Instead of giving both sides money and telling them what to do, the speaker proposes defunding both sides. They believe that funding leads to unintended consequences and makes the US complicit in the violence. The speaker advocates for a policy of non-intervention, where the US does not dictate actions but can condemn violence equally. They urge against supporting the resolution.

More trouble, no one has caused more harm, no one has caused more wars in my lifetime than Israel. Israel is not our ally. At this point, they are our enemy. They take money from us. They incriminate us to the whole world. They implicate us in their immoral war crimes. No one has hurt this country more than Israel has. Israel is our top enemy. Enemy.

Children slaughtered, worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Israel has the right to exist and defend itself. Some members in this body refuse to acknowledge this and lack the courage to condemn the killing of babies. They even spread a false claim that Israel bombed a hospital. These individuals are unworthy of serving in this body. The fact that some didn't sign on to this resolution speaks volumes. If you can't support Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, a symbol of democracy and freedom, you shouldn't be here. Those members should resign in disgrace.

As a child of Holocaust survivors, I strongly believe in the principle of "never again." The current situation in Gaza is deeply troubling. It's important to understand that the conflict didn't start with Hamas, but rather with the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 to establish the Jewish state. These people were relocated to Gaza, and now they are being targeted for elimination or forced relocation. This must stop. American Jews need to speak out and say that this is not happening in our name or with our tax money. We cannot allow this genocide to continue before our eyes.

A congressman from Texas opposes a resolution regarding the situation in Gaza, stating that it harms the United States and Israel. He believes that the US has a moral responsibility for both sides due to providing aid to Arab nations and Israel. However, he also highlights the political liability of intervention and mentions the history of Hamas being indirectly supported by Israel. He criticizes the US for trying to impose its system on the world and mentions the blowback from past actions. The congressman concludes that the resolution is not in the interest of the United States or Israel.

A congressman from Texas opposes a resolution regarding the situation in Gaza, stating that it harms the United States and Israel. He believes that the US has a moral responsibility for both sides due to providing aid to Arab nations and Israel. He highlights the use of American-funded weapons in the conflict. The congressman also criticizes the political liability of US intervention and mentions the history of Hamas, suggesting that it was indirectly supported by Israel. He questions the logic of supporting Hamas and then fighting against them. Additionally, he mentions past alliances with Osama bin Laden and the negative consequences of radicalizing Muslims. He concludes by stating that the resolution is not in the interest of the United States or Israel.

We should not be spending money to support Israel. Our aid should not be going towards building a fort for them. We need to focus on our own interests and not waste resources on humanitarian aid.
