                       WE MUST STAND WITH ISRAEL

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my strong support 
for our vital ally, Israel. The recent rocket attacks launched by Hamas 
terrorists against innocent Israelis must be unequivocally condemned, 
and our support for Israel's right to defend herself must be crystal 
clear.
  Between President Biden's weak leadership and anti-Semitic comments 
made by Members of this very body, terrorist organizations like Hamas 
feel that they can get away with attacking our ally. They have 
emboldened them.
  The world is watching, and there is no room for silence or 
appeasement of terrorists. Congress and the Biden administration must 
immediately reaffirm America's longstanding commitment to Israel and 
offer any and all support.
  Mr. President, wake up. There is only one democracy in the Middle 
East, and we must stand with Israel.
