From that list of legislators who voted against yesterday's House and Senate
resolutions of support for Israel comes our newest anti-Israel government
members who voted 'NO' and some that voted 'YES' reluctantly. Here is "Jeff
Bingamans" anti-Israeli response ...."While the United States has a
unique relationship with Israel, as a superpower it also has a unique
responsibility to bring the two sides together. We will lose that opportunity if
we fail to acknowledge our concern and responsibility for the well being of the
Palestinian people."

"David Boniors" anti-Israeli response ...."Mr. Speaker, I rise in
strong opposition to House Resolution 392. I do so because it undermines the
Administration's desire to achieve a cease-fire, it undermines our efforts to
ultimately broker a lasting and just resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict and
it runs counter to what is in our best interest in the Middle East. However,
this resolution blindly supports Israel's actions against the Palestinians and
wholly denies the generations of suffering of the Palestinian people. Like most
Americans, I support Israel. However, also just like most Americans, I do not
support - and will not support - all Israeli policies. What of the suffering of
the Palestinian people? What of the history of land confiscation, water rights,
torture, settlements, collective punishment, home demolitions, curfews,
administrative detentions and expulsions? Where is the language about well over
a thousand Palestinians killed in the last 19 months - bodies found under the
rubble? Where is the language about the thousands made homeless by the
bulldozers in Jenin alone? Where is the language about relief agencies denied
access to treat the sick and wounded? We also know that relief agencies
(including the International Committee of the Red Cross) were prevented from
reaching, evacuating, and treating the sick and wounded throughout the West Bank
resulting in untold deaths. From the mother who bled to death from a normally
non-fatal wound in front of her children - to the couple buried alive under the
rubble for eight days - the stories are coming to light and they are horrific.
Rarely is there discussion on this floor of the nearly 420 Palestinian villages
destroyed at the time of Israel's founding in 1948. Or the 3.8 million refugees
registered by the United Nations and the estimated 2 million others not
registered. "Palestinians live in 59 different recognized refugee camps in
poverty and with no hope in sight for a brighter future for the next generation
born in the camps.I

of the original article ..."generations of suffering" yes, you are
right. But is that Israel's fault? When the native Palestinians left in 1948 to
make way for the Arab armies to destroy the newly born Jewish State and became
refugees... was that Israel's fault? When Jordan, Syria and Egypt forbade these
people from integrating into their societies and deliberately kept them as
refugees like pawns in a chess game against Israel, was that Israel's fault? Mr.
Bonior, I don't know if its your hatred of the Jews or your ignorance that cause
you to express such hurtful stupidity... I deplore your blunt distortion of
facts and history! I deplore your anti-Semitism. Where you wearing a Swastika
when you made this speach?"Let these politicians know that what they are

tinderbox. Even the slightest spark could ignite another conflagration. This is
not a time for chest-thumping rhetoric. This is a time for quiet diplomacy,
measured speech, and clear direction. This is not the moment for Congress to
stir the Mid-East pot. the White House has strongly urged Congress not to
inflame passions by staging a vote on Israel. The fear is that even a symbolic
vote by Congress in favor of Israel will jeopardize the already precarious role
of the United States in the Middle East peace negotiations, and could even
backfire by aggravating tensions - and possibly provoking more violence - in the
Middle East. Nowhere in this Resolution is Israel called upon to fulfill its
role in working for peace in the Middle East. This Resolution condemns the
Palestinian suicide bombings, demands that the Palestinian Authority dismantle
the terrorist infrastructure in Palestinian areas, and urges all Arab states to
act in concert with the U.S. to stop the violence. Where are the demands that
Israel withdraw from Palestinian lands and cooperate in the establishment of a
Palestinian State? Where is the denunciation of the destruction of homes and
water lines and roads and basic infrastructure in Jenin and Nablus and elsewhere
in the West Bank? Where is the expression of support for humanitarian and
reconstruction aid to the innocent Palestinian victims of Israel's incursion
into the West Bank?

Capps'" anti-Israeli response ...." It is not right to simply voice
our personal emotions and not advance our national interests. This resolution
should be stronger. "First, it should recognize the suffering of the
Palestinian people. Many of the 1,500 Palestinians killed in this conflict are
not terrorists or fighters, but innocent people. Surely, the United States of
America and its Congress should consider the death of an innocent child to be
equally tragic -- whether she is Israeli or Palestinian; Jewish, Christian, or
Muslim. Second, Congress should forcefully support strong U.S. engagement in
pursuit of a negotiated long-term settlement to the conflict. We are here to
offer solutions, not merely to express emotions. Today, the United States is
engaged in a critical war against terrorism. In my view, the fight against
global terror will only be strengthened when we secure a just and lasting peace
agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. For the sake of the Israeli and
Palestinian peoples -- and for our own sake -- the U. S. government must be an
honest, credible leader toward the path of peace. Our national interests give us
no alternative."

hard line being taken by the Israeli government, and the current military
offensive being conducted by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, will do nothing to
bring about lasting peace in the region. "I am also concerned that the
totally one-sided resolution being considered on the House floor today does
nothing to enhance U.S. leadership in the region, and, in fact, could actually
harm our ability to broker a permanent peace. I offered a truly balanced
resolution, H.Res. 394, which would help send the message that the U.S. is
committed to a negotiated settlement. Unfortunately, we are not being allowed to
debate alternatives today. But, prior to his election, Mr. Sharon intentionally
visited a disputed holy site in Jerusalem in order to provoke a violent
response. He has always been a vocal opponent of the Oslo Peace Process. He has
advocated continued expansion of Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories.
He ordered the Israeli military to reoccupy various Palestinian cities with
weapons provided by U.S. taxpayers.

another irresponsible Congressional resolution that does absolutely nothing to
help end the violence that plagues the Israeli and Palestinian people. I rise in
opposition to this resolution, which at a very delicate time undermines the Bush
Administration's efforts to ease tensions, end violence, and bring about a fair
peace that will be acceptable and beneficial to Israelis and Palestinians. This
resolution sends exactly the wrong signal at this perilous time. It will only
further fan the flames of violence, increase regional instability, and
compromises our war on terrorism. The Administration needs Congress to support
its efforts to engage both the Israelis and Palestinians as an honest broker
that sees the death of any innocent human being as a tragedy and threat to the
long-term interests of the parties involved, our regional allies, and the United
States. Congress must stand for peace, for it is peace alone that will benefit
Israel, Palestine, and the United States. The Administration does not need
Congress to pass one-sided, provocative measures that undermine U.S. diplomacy
and our ability to address this problem, which has proven to be a cancer on
Israel, Palestine, the region, and U.S. diplomacy."

Israel is long- standing, but Ariel Sharon is not "Israel." He was
wrong in rejecting the successful peace process in Oslo, in rejecting President
Clinton's efforts at Camp David in 2000, in rejecting the talks between Israelis
and Palestinians at Taba, Egypt in January 2001, and he was wrong in Sabra and
Shatila. Without approving in any way actions of some of his adversaries or

stopping the violence and moving toward a long-term settlement. The resolution
appears designed to drive a 'wedge' among supporters of Israel for partisan
purposes, and it risks misrepresenting the rationale behind the current efforts
of President Bush and Secretary Powell to bring the parties together. A more
adequate resolution would reiterate our support both for the security and
integrity of Israel and for justice and self-determination for the Palestinians.
It would back a vigorous, sustained American peacemaking role. It would affirm
Israel's right to self-defense, while noting the obligation to distinguish
between uprooting terrorism and destroying the institutions and infrastructure
of Palestinian self-government"

Here we go again. How many times has this body passed resolutions of this nature
that are so unbalanced, so one-sided, that we become the laughingstock of the
world? How many times have we passed resolutions of this nature? Do we have
peace today? I support the state of Israel. I do not support the brutal
humiliating policies of Ariel Sharon Yes, Israel is our ally but we need other
allies in the region as well. What about the moderate Arab allies that want to
help us, to whom we only cast further embarrassment today by the passage of
these one-side resolutions? Let us not shut the door on those allies of ours
around the world who want to help... Israel stop these brutal acts against
innocent civilians The important question that we must ask is how Israel must
protect itself. The first step is to acknowledge its role in creating the
violent conditions in the region. The time has come to stop blaming everything
on Arafat. Continued humiliation is not the solution. This is the method of
operation of bullies, not of those who want to return to the peace process, to
the negotiating table. The bottom line is we cannot dispossess a people and then
attempt to govern them by occupying their land, by forcing them to subsist in
refugee camps, by blocking roadways to their jobs, by refusing access to medical
attention, by cutting them off from their schools and universities, and by
discounting their humanity. This is not the roadway to peace."
