    James Woods sums up how Democrats are on this issue: From the Jihad Squad… 

    Let’s face facts, the UN is now a Leftist organization that detests Jews. Listen to this UN official claim what? Fast clip…. 

    On February 14, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a resolution condemning rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas since October 7. Introduced by Representative Louis Frankel (D-Fla.), the resolution passed with a vote of 418-0, with Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) voting “present.”

    Thank you Rep Lois Frankel for leading this bipartisan resolution, just passed by the House in a 418-0-1 vote, condemning Hamas’ widespread and systematic rape and sexual violence against Israelis on October 7. – AIPAC | Text ISRAEL to 24722 | #StandWithIsrael

    The resolution highlights instances of such acts by Hamas during what is described as the largest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Supporting evidence includes testimonies, eyewitness accounts, forensic evidence, and confessions by Hamas terrorists captured by Israel. The House condemns all forms of sexual violence as weapons of war, emphasizing the need for nations to criminalize rape and sexual assault and hold all perpetrators, including state and non-state armed groups, accountable.

    Additionally, the resolution calls on international bodies to condemn the acts of murder, rape, sexual assault, and kidnapping by Hamas and other terrorists since October 7. It reaffirms the U.S. government’s support for independent, impartial investigations into rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas during this period and expresses commitment to supporting survivors of such acts.

    In a related move, the House passed a bill by a vote of 389-32, prohibiting U.S. officials from recognizing or normalizing ties with Syria under Socialist Ba’ath Party leader Bashar al-Assad. The Biden administration also opposes normalizing ties with the Assad regime. Notably, 28 Democrats and four Republicans voted against the measure, while 208 Republicans and 181 Democrats voted in favor.

    Another legislative initiative, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act, which aims to combat antisemitism globally, was scheduled for discussion. However, it was not brought up despite being on the agenda for February 13. Introduced by Representative Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), the bill focuses on standing with Israel and countering hatred against Jews. It seeks to amend the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 to apply to international governmental organizations. The bill requires the president to submit an annual report to Congress listing foreign countries and international organizations promoting or imposing boycotts.

    Representative Lawler emphasized the significance of the IGO Anti-Boycott Act in the global fight against antisemitism, asserting that it protects U.S. companies from being coerced into participating in boycotts against allied countries. The bill is positioned as a proactive stance against the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and other foreign boycotts that run counter to American ideals.

    The BDS movement has faced criticism for its perceived antisemitism, accused of applying a double standard concerning Israel and singling out the Jewish state for delegitimization and destruction.

    These legislative actions in the Middle East context followed the Senate’s approval, with a 70-29 vote, of a $95.3 billion bill that includes $14 billion for Israel. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declared the bill dead on arrival in the House, emphasizing the need for any national security legislation to prioritize border security.

    Despite opposition from House Republicans, there is speculation that the House might use a rarely employed mechanism called the discharge petition to bypass this opposition and bring the bill to the House floor. This mechanism requires a majority of the House to sign on to force measures into discussion.

    In a separate development, the House failed to pass a bill allocating $17.6 billion to Israel. The measure required a two-thirds majority for passage due to an expedited process, with most Democrats voting against it while most Republicans supported it.

    Remember Oct 7th. Watch this Hamas terrorist shoot & murder this Israeli girl. It’s sick & depraved. It’s also one of many of the most cowardly attacks ever witnessed. What sort of Man shoots, rapes, burns, tortures & beheads unarmed civilian women & children? A Coward.
