                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Israel is a 
crucial ally of the United States and that anti-Semitism and hostility 
      against the State of Israel should be rejected in all forms.

Whereas the State of Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East;
Whereas the existence of the State of Israel is vital to the preservation of the 
        Jewish people;
Whereas the alliance between the United States and the State of Israel is 
        essential to the national security of Israel;
Whereas the United States' diplomatic support of Israel has allowed for a 
        greater sense of national security for both the State of Israel and the 
        Jewish people;
Whereas radical Islamic terrorists intent on destroying Israel are equally 
        dedicated to the destruction of the United States;
Whereas Israel is experienced in combating militarism and jihad stemming from 
        Arabic nations and is uniquely qualified to assist the United States in 
        the fight against terrorism;
Whereas the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad is extraordinarily qualified to 
        assist the United States in preserving national security given its 
        ability to proficiently operate in the Middle East;
Whereas citizens in both the United States and Israel believe in the pursuit of 
        happiness through freedom;
Whereas radical, racist, and extremist organizations exist that attempt to 
        boycott, divest, and sanction Israel and the Jewish people;
Whereas the terrorist organization Hamas has continually threatened the 
        existence of the State of Israel through unprovoked rocket attacks on 
        innocent Israeli civilian targets; and
Whereas it is the responsibility of the United States Congress to denounce 
        prejudice, including anti-Semitism, in all forms: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This resolution may be cited as the ``Maintaining Our Resolve to 
Defend, Encourage, and Conserve our Alliance with Israel Resolution'' 
or the ``MORDECAI Resolution''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

     It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the State of 
Israel is a crucial ally of the United States and that anti-Semitism 
and hostility against the State of Israel should be rejected in all 
forms.
