00:00 Jack Bergman here.
00:01 I just introduced a resolution to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
00:08 I don't take this action lightly, but her longstanding history of anti-Semitic and racist
00:13 rhetoric towards Israel cannot go unchecked.
00:17 While we don't all have to see eye to eye on every issue, I'd hope we can all agree
00:21 that the terrorists raping women, murdering festival goers, and decapitating babies is
00:28 a crime against all of humanity, and we must be able to call out that kind of unbridled
00:33 evil in our world.
00:35 Unfortunately, Congresswoman Tlaib chose a different path and justified the terrorist
00:40 actions based on so-called Israeli occupation.
00:45 We must never forget that Israel was founded as a safe haven for Jews after the scourge
00:50 of anti-Semitism in Europe led to extermination of more than 6 million Jews.
00:56 Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations operating within Gaza and the West Bank share
01:03 one goal, to eliminate the State of Israel.
01:07 I will always stand with Israel, and I will never waver in supporting its right to self-defense.
