ISRAEL IS NOT AN APARTHEID STATE
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, let me make one thing clear: Israel has never
been and will never be an apartheid state.
Amnesty International's latest report that labels Israel as an
apartheid state is nothing short of an outright denial of the Jewish
State's right to exist. This report should be condemned immediately. It
is the textbook definition of anti-Semitism.
Instead of peddling these falsehoods and baseless allegations,
Amnesty International would do well to focus on the human rights
violations of the Chinese Communist Party.
America has stood side by side with Israel since its creation, and
our shared values remain the keystone of our strategic partnership.
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand with Israel and the Jewish
community. They deserve our unwavering support.
