BILL: Reaffirming the State of Israel’s Right To Exist (H.R.888)

Both Israel and Palestians have a right to peacefully co-exist.

Actions have consequences. The Israeli government's barbaric actions Is leading people around the world to look at the current situation and history and questioning Israel's very right to exist. Further, it is not surprising that anti-semitism in all its ugly manifestations is on the rise.

Israel has a right to exist, but so does the Palenstanian state/people.  The scorched earth policy that Israel is operating under is wrong and should be stopped.  Furthermore, Jewish settlers have no right to take over the Gaza area and push ot the Palestanians.  A two state solution needs to be implimented and each side needs to respect the other's territory.  Both sides are wrong and both sides need to stop the insanity.  What the hell did Israel expect when you oppress a group of people after so long of a time they are going to strike back.  So, both sides need to act like mature adults and work out a peaceful solution.  More killing on both sides will never bring any kind of peace to the region.

Another 'Truth', whether you like it or not!

CHILDREN, on both sides, ARE DYING AND TERRORIZED!

Being kept HOSTAGE, as the Israeli children were, had additional challenges as relayed in the article below (though Palestinian children under a bombing umbrella probably have similar mental health conditions as well).

Interesting CNN Films' documentary, 'Chowchilla', that explorers the lives of several Texas young school children who were kidnapped on a bus heading to school in 1976 and imprisoned in a trailer that was buried underground! These kids escaped with the help of the bus driver and one older child!

But after some 47 years, those children/grownups, are STILL TRAUMATIZED!

All children on both sides of this war will probably need a lifetime of help, whether they get it or not.

SHIT!

The farcical hearings held by congress asking college presidents to refute 'antisemitism' was an abomination

jewish diaspora were represented but no other association of international students or ethnic communities 

Silence led to the holocaust

silence again is allowing another genocide

anti zionism, apartheid, land grab is NOT antisemitism 

We as a country, republicans are abandoning Ukraine and democracy !!!!!

 My name is Isnardo Gandarilla , and I'm a constituent of Ron Wyden. I'm calling about Palestine and Israel. The Senator must take immediate steps to deescalate, by calling for 1) a total and permanent ceasefire, 2) humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza, including reinstating funding to UNRWA, 3) an end to Israel's siege on Gaza, and 4) no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military. I support a permanent ceasefire, along with over 80 members of Congress, and 67% of American voters. I'm urgently asking the Senator to call for a permanent ceasefire now.

This is a genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza. A U.S. federal judge found that Israel is plausibly committing genocide. Members of Congress can be charged in court with aiding and abetting genocide through congressional acts. The Senator must take action now to stop genocide and end all U.S. complicity in Israel's violence.

Israel needs to be supported 

Not our country not our proble Israel is MORE THAN capable of defending itself and it's right to exist. 

Israel has the right to defend itself but the massacre of thousands of civilians is never acceptable. As far as I am concerned the US should stop all support to Israel.

Ceasefire NOW!  No more money arms

or aid to this terrorism campaign by the Israelis on the Palestinian people

Israel is an apartide state!!! If it is to exist it MUST be a state where all are welcome! It is NOT a democracy! 

If Israel won't accept Palestine as an independent state then Israel should follow suit and also not be accepted as an independent state to exist.

Israel has the right to exist. It saddens me that their even has to be a bill about this. Please support it

Resolutions are a silly waste of time. 

Israel has the right to exist and defend themselves when groups like Hamas attack.

Wow. Almost 1/2 of the people voted to kill off the Jewish people and state they do not have the right to exist.  I realize there are more terrorist sympathizers and nazi wannabes over the years, but did not realize it was almost 1/2

If the poll was changed to Muslims or gays or Asians or blacks the same 1/2 of the people would probably vote the same for them as well as they are bigots 

Israel has been hated attacked insulted since God was borne. 
Also Democrat Party should be tried for ' Treason' because they fund Hamas and Palestine a terrorist supporter. 

I believe in my humble opinion, that a country only exists on its own merits. Israel is not an ally but a drain on our resources. It has attacked us before, stolen military secrets, and has conspired with our enemies. Therefore it is my opinion that the US not only deny Israel any further aid, but that it sever ties in an obviously lopsided deal. I think that it's "right to exist" is only by its own ability to defend its borders. We must let other countries and the world at large deal woth its own issues, especially considering the strain we Americans are under. 

If deeming one people's right to exist sacrifices another people's right to exist, then we have accomplished nothing. If a solution can't be found without colonization, oppression, and genocide, then we have failed our humanity. 

the question is not whether Israel has a right to exist, but whether Palestinians have a right to to live 

A people must stand or fall on their own. It is not our place to say who is worthy of staying. This was never our fight to interfere in, and butting in merely makes us look like a bully on the world stage.

I can't wait for the day when we as a country focus on the issues here. We've got so many homeless due to insane housing costs, people who can't feed their children, a lack of funding for public and state employee salaries, and a mass shooting epidemic! We have so many other things to fix HERE. Let's do that first. Would love to see Congress and The House focus on our local problems, and to see our country stop typing to be everyone's hero. We've got a giant amount on debt as a country; I'd love to say we should be helpful to all countries, but I would rather us fix our own problems here.

Israel has killed 30,000 Palestinians mostly women and children. 

In the last couple days IDF solidiers have repeatedly murdered starving Palestinians seeking food. 

There are 60,000 starving pregnant women and 70,000 injured.

US complicity is the massacre of innocent must stop. 

The half of a century belligerent, hostile illegal occupation must stop!  

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R.888, the bill reaffirming the State of Israel’s right to exist. As your constituent, I urge you to vote against this bill, as it oversimplifies a complex issue and undermines efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

While I recognize and support Israel’s right to exist in peace and security, I believe that H.R.888 fails to address the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and perpetuates a one-sided narrative that ignores the legitimate rights and grievances of the Palestinian people.

By unilaterally reaffirming Israel’s right to exist without acknowledging the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories and the denial of Palestinian rights, this bill undermines the prospects for a negotiated solution based on justice, equality, and mutual respect.

Furthermore, H.R.888 risks exacerbating tensions in the region and alienating Palestinians and their supporters who seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict. It sends a message that the United States is biased in favor of Israel and unwilling to uphold the principles of international law and human rights.

As your constituent, I urge you to reject H.R.888 and instead support measures that promote dialogue, diplomacy, and a just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This includes advocating for an end to the occupation, respecting Palestinian rights, and supporting efforts to achieve a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 borders.

Thank you for considering my views on this matter. I trust that you will represent the best interests of your constituents and work towards a more just and peaceful future for all peoples in the Middle East.

Israel does not have a right to commit genocide
