                               RESOLUTION


 
Condemning, in the strongest possible terms, Iranian President Mahmoud 
  Ahmadinejad's outrageous and despicable statements directed toward 
                                Israel.

Whereas the Islamic Republic of Iran has, in the past, threatened Israel with 
        nuclear attack and has aggressively pursued a clandestine effort to arm 
        itself with nuclear weapons;
Whereas Iran funds, trains, and openly supports terrorist groups that are 
        determined to destroy Israel;
Whereas on October 26, 2005, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran, declared that ``Israel must be wiped off the map'', 
        described Israel as ``a disgraceful blot [on] the face of the Islamic 
        world'', and declared that ``[a]nybody who recognizes Israel will burn 
        in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury''; and
Whereas on December 14, 2005, President Ahmadinejad continued his relentless 
        attack on Israel by saying that the Holocaust was a myth and that the 
        Jewish state should be moved to Europe or North America; Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, Iranian 
        President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's outrageous and despicable 
        statements directed toward Israel and demands that he repudiate 
        them;
            (2) reaffirms the unwavering alliance between the United 
        States and Israel and reasserts the commitment of the United 
        States to defend the right of Israel to exist as a free and 
        democratic state in the Middle East;
            (3) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, those world 
        leaders such as Iranian President Ahmadinejad who espouse or 
        encourage anti-Semitism; and
            (4) reaffirms the existence of the Holocaust as an 
        historical event and condemns those who deny that it occurred.
