The House approved a resolution backing Israel and condemning Hamas on Wednesday, the first piece of legislation to clear the lower chamber in more than three weeks because of the extended Speaker stalemate.
The legislation, which spans four pages, was the first measure approved under the leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who clinched the gavel hours before the chamber voted on the resolution. He succeeded former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in the position after the California Republican was ousted from the top job earlier this month.
The House approved the resolution in a 412-10-6 vote, a strong show of support for Israel after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on the U.S. ally Oct. 7, massacring more than 1,000 civilians in the south of the country, kidnapping more than 200 and raining thousands of rockets down across the country.
Well apparently this resolution doesn’t say much more than that israel can defend itself against terrorism, and that Hamas shouldn’t commit terrorism.
Of course there’s a message between the lines but in itself there isn’t much wrong with it
And don’t forget there’s an existential convergence for the US as well, having completely genocided the natives off their land, it would be quite hypocritical for them to condemn others for the light version of it
Heyyy someone read the article. :-)
