Rep. Zeldin Introduces Resolution Condemning Rocket Attacks on Israel






Arutz Sheva reports <[link removed]> on House Resolution 727: <[link removed]>

Two Jewish congressmen have introduced a bipartisan resolution in the US House of Representatives that condemns recent terrorist rocket attacks on Israel and supports Israel’s right to defend itself....

Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Lee Zeldin (R-NY), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus, respectively, sponsored the resolution.

The resolution currently has 25 co-sponsors. It notes the support of the House for Israel's right to defend itself against terrorist groups and commends the US commitment to Israel's security, including military assistance for the Iron Dome missile defense system.

In the most recent rocket attacks, in mid-November, Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza launched more than 450 rockets <[link removed]> at Israel.















Arthur Jones





RJC Condemns Neo-Nazi Candidate in Illinois






The Algemeinerreports <[link removed]>:

Holocaust denier and neo-Nazi Arthur Jones has filed to again run for the Republican nomination for the US House of Representatives in the Illinois 3rd Congressional District.

…In a statement to The Chicago Sun Times, Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider said his party “vehemently condemns Arthur Jones’ candidacy. His racism and bigotry have no place in our party or American politics. As we did in 2016 and 2018, we will oppose his candidacy in every way possible.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition slammed Jones.
“Like the Illinois GOP, we vehemently oppose Jones’s candidacy. Jones is a Nazi, not a Republican,” RJC spokesperson Neil Strauss emailed JNS. “There are two actual Republicans running in this primary, and we look forward to one of them winning the nomination.”

“At the end of the day, two things are true,” he continued. “First, sometimes the price we pay to live in a free society is that even someone as odious as Jones gets to run for public office. Two, the Democrats have actual elected members of Congress (Ilhan Omar [of Minnesota] and Rashida Tlaib [of Michigan]) who are vicious antisemites, and whom they support and assign to influential committees.”

For example, Omar is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, while Tlaib is on the House Financial Services Committee and the House Oversight Committee.

“We strongly opposed <[link removed]> Jones in the past <[link removed]>,” added Strauss. “We worked with the [Republican National Committee] and the Illinois GOP to make sure Jones had no institutional support.”

Israel on the World Stage






The news this week included reports on Israeli diplomatic efforts:

Washington Free Beacon: International Criminal Court declines to prosecute alleged Israeli war crimes <[link removed]>.
The International Criminal Court on Monday declined to reopen an investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes stemming from a 2010 incident in which a Gaza-bound flotilla filled with militant anti-Israel agitators was intercepted by Israeli authorities, leading to a bloody confrontation. Pro-Israel legal experts who have been following the hotly contested case celebrated the decision as a hard-fought win in a court that has historically been hostile to Israel.
