and 130 houghs rages main captive in gaza. i recently returned from a congressional delegation trip to israel. i saw firsthand the savage and diabolical nature of the october 7 attack. i visited kibbutz kavar asa, one of the communities burned and pillage. i saw the devastating the instruction that resulted when hamas went house-to-house, killing people by throwing grenades in their homes. spraying them with bullets and setting their homes on fire while young people were hiding inside the deliberate cruelty was shocking. gut wrenching. and unforgettable. the kibbutz is where aviva and keith siegel were taken by hamas. keith is an american citizen from my home state of north carolina. for six months, keith has been held hostage by these terrorists. i think about keith and all the hostages every single day. aviva spent 51 days in captivity and thankfully she was released in november and since her release she has spoken out about the horrifying sexual abuse and violence she saw hamas use on the hostages. it's hard to imagine what

right now palestinians in gaza are being starved, bombed, tortured and executed. generations of palestinian families have been wiped out. over two million are displaced from homes that have been raised to the ground -- razed to the ground. make no mistake, history will remember this moment as a genocide. we cannot bomb our way to peace. and the u.s. must stop using our tax dollars to arm the israeli military with more bombs and bullets. the same bombs and bullets that have been used to kill over 14,000 children in gaza. shameful. it's why we see momentum across the globe in support of a ceasefire. millions are marching peacefully in the streets. a ceasefire is the mandate. a ceasefire to serve humanitarian aid. a ceasefire to bring all of the hostages home. a ceasefire to save lives. we will never be silent in the face of injustice. ceasefire now. mr. speaker, i rise today to honor the life and legacy of luke bayley santos, a came -- of cambridge, massachusetts. our community is devastated over the loss of luke. he was a force for good. and a bright light in polit

iran on the other hand, is aligned with groups such as hezbollah, hamas, palestinian islamic jihad in gaza and the houthi in yemen and militias in iraq and syria. iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism, backing a broad group of terrorists in the region and across the world. just last week, a court in argentina concluded it was iran that planned the fatal attack against a jewish community center in 1994, 30 years ago, and the court delayed it a crime against humanitiy. the alliances we create must be able to stand up to the horrific alliances that iran is trying to build and why this legislation is so important. as the attacks of october 7th highlighted, we must be doing everything we can to assist allies like israel, to disempower the enemies who seek to do not just our allies harm in the case of hamas, to destroy the jewish state and kill the jewish people, but to also attack the united states. and this was made even clearer this weekend when iran launched its multifaceted assault on israel. that's why speaker johnson must bring the senate passed legislation providing for israeli

and taking more than 250 hostage into gaza. in the six months since hamas started this war, israel has been fighting for its existence. on many fronts. facing attacks and threats from gaza, lebanon, syria, yemen, iraq, and iran. and it's more than just the mortars, rockets, missiles, and drones threatening israel. israel's enemies have two key strategies in their campaign to destroy and delegitimatize the jewish state. one, distort the truth with kennards and accusations against israel and the jewish people. two, isolate israel in global forums and the world of public opinion. . when you lift the veil of this grotesque distortion of the truth, you see that iran is also behind south africa's actions, just like iran finances and fuels hamas, hezbollah and the houthis. meanwhile, in cities around the world as well as here in the united states, anti-israel protests are replete with calls for the elimination of the jewish state. most clearly manifested in the chant from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. and look no furth
