with the fourth attack on the innocent Israeli victims, which has 
killed 61 people, injured 190 people, is certainly something this 
country, the United States, will not tolerate. The Hamas organization 
has caused such terror and such grief that the once solid confidence of 
the people in Israel has been shaken. We here in America will show our 
support in every way possible, whether it is economic, humanitarian, in 
any way that Israel needs our help. It is our strongest ally in the 
Middle East, and a democracy that is so important to this country and 
the world's peace. We must be there to help them.
