I will not support an effort to enable and support war crimes, human rights abuses and violence. We cannot be talking only about Israelis\u2019 need for safety at a time when Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system and are dying from what Human Rights Watch has said are war crimes. We should also be talking about Palestinian need for security from Israeli attacks. We must be consistent in our commitment to human life. Period. Everyone deserves to be safe there. The bill claims to be \u201ca replenishment\u201d for weapons apartheid Israel used in a crisis that it manufactured when it worshippers at one of the most holiest Islamist locations, the Al-aqsa Mosque, committing, again, numerous war crimes and yet, one billion dollar sin American tax dollars and my colleagues want to give represents to me an absurd and unjustifiable 140 times increase to U.S. for the Iron Dome.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She continued by citing the Israel hard-left anti-Israel group B\u2019Tselem, saying, \u201cI firmly believe our country must oppose selling weapons to anyone, anywhere, without human rights law compliance. The Israeli government is an apartheid regime, not my words, the words of Human Rights Watch and Israel\u2019s own human rights organization, B\u2019Tselem.

I heard some of my Democratic colleagues stand with me, with Israel, with our ally to fight terrorism with a defensive weapons system. And what did we just hear? We heard the Democratic party speak out. We heard right now from my colleague across the aisle with a shocking statement. She opposes this because they have a vocal minority in the majority party that is anti-Israel, that is anti-Semitic, and as Americans we can never stand for that.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI grew up with Holocaust survivors,\u201d Fleischmann noted. \u201cI grew up with children of Holocaust survivors. Israel has been attacked and attacked and attacked since its inception. As Americans, I beseech you: I reach out to the majority and I say, condemn what we just heard on the floor. Condemn terrorism. This is a defensive weapons system. Stop playing your procedural games. I hear commit, recommit. It was a motion to recommit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just saw something on this floor I thought I would never see,\u201d Fleischmann asserted. \u201cNot only as a member of this House, but as an American. Let us stand with Israel. Let\u2019s combat anti-Semitism wherever it is in the world. Whether it\u2019s in the United States, whether it\u2019s from terrorism.
