                 SUPPORTING ISRAEL, UKRAINE, AND TAIWAN

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, the skullduggery of the Speaker of the 
House was on display today. He has no real interest in helping Israel. 
He has interest in scoring political points with Donald Trump. He used 
Israel to do that today, and he did it a month ago.
  A month ago or so, he said he would support aid to Israel if it was 
set off with $13 million or $14 million in cuts to the IRS, which would 
have only benefited the wealthiest tax cheats in our country. To 
condition aid to Israel on helping out rich tax cheats is despicable, 
and the skullduggery today was to separate Israel from Ukraine, a 
country similar to Israel that is being invaded by Russia to try to 
deny its territorial integrity and to commit a genocide, just as Hamas 
has tried to commit a genocide in Israel.
  I support Israel. I also support helping with humanitarian aid the 
people in Gaza who have been hurt, injured, or killed. I also support 
helping Ukraine for having Russia do the same thing. I also support 
Taiwan.
  I do not support the Speaker. He is a man without good faith.
