                           SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL

  (Mr. ISRAEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, once again, as so many times before, the 
people of Israel are under missile attack from the terrorist group 
Hamas in Gaza, with 300 rocket attacks since June--150 just over the 
past few days--forcing children into shelters, with the promise of more 
violence rained on Israel. This is the same Hamas that has formed a 
unity government with the Palestinian Authority.
  Mr. Speaker, some things are clear. When rockets are fired on Israel, 
Israel will defend its people. When Hamas chooses violence, Israel will 
protect its people. When Hamas commits itself to the eradication and 
extermination of Israel, Israel will do what it must to ensure its 
survival.
  Today, I will be introducing bipartisan legislation reaffirming this 
country's support for the people of Israel as it defends itself.
