gaza was a two-state solution. gaza got its independence, its ability to govern itself, humanitarian aid by the hundreds of millions of dollars, including from the united states, pours into gaza to make life good for the citizens, bring water in, bring all the infrastructure in, and the only infrastructure hamas built were tunnels under the city so they could launch an attack and have a place to hide when israel responded to the attack. that's what they did. that's what a two-state solution looks like in israel. mr. speaker, i don't know if you have had the privilege to visit israel and lend at the airport -- land at airport, the airport's between tel aviv and it's between jerusalem. and if you look at the map of israel and you look just to the northeast of the airport, there sits a piece of the west bank. what the palestinians want. they want to claim that territory. and if you look at that and we visited one of those place, it's on an elevation -- and from that piece of the west bank you can look down on the vall
