House Speaker Good for America, Bad for Tlaib and Her Squad

For thousands of years, Jews have been persecuted and murdered by antisemites who falsely claimed the Jews brought the attacks on themselves by their own conduct. This lie has surfaced again after Hamas’ barbaric October 7th assault and massacre. The Iran-proxy terrorist group continues to fire thousands of rockets into Israel, which continues to defend itself and has vowed to annihilate the genocidal entity.

While Israel continues to be attacked, and as pro-Hamas mobs have been demonstrating around the world, for the last three weeks Americans have also been watching the chaos of the House of Representatives as the GOP had a very public fight choosing a new Speaker after booting Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the job. Finally, this week Representative Mike Johnson was elected as the 56th Speaker of the House. Speaker Johnson told the media that there would now be an “aggressive schedule in the days and weeks ahead,” and he wasn’t kidding. First out of the gate was an important and simple resolution—HR 771, affirming America’s support of Israel and condemning Hamas’ terrorist attacks.

Shamefully, some far-left congressional Democrats have joined the Israel-bashing chorus of Hamas, Muslim nations, the United Nations, the left-wing media and others. This comes even though 32 Americans were murdered Oct. 7 during the terrorist attack on Israel, and with at least 12 Americans believed to be among hostages Hamas is holding in the Gaza Strip.

Most members of Congress are supporting Israel following the unprovoked surprise terrorist attack. The House voted Wednesday for the resolution titled, “Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists” which passed by a vote of 412 to 10 with six members abstaining. The resolution says the House “stands with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas” and “condemns Hamas’ brutal war against Israel.” It says Hamas should “cease these violent attacks” and release all hostages.
