Democratic House member Tom Lantos of California is giving a rousing speech in favor of Israel live on C-SPAN right now. A very eloquent Holocaust survivor, his words
in support of H.RES.921 have been very moving. HR. 921 is "condemning the recent attacks against the State of Israel, holding terrorists and their state-sponsors accountable for such attacks, supporting Israel's right to defend itself, and for other purposes." Rep.Lantos is one of the co-sponsors of this bill. I can't wait to read the text of his remarks. I wish I knew shorthand, but one of the things he said was that Hezbollah was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iran, and Iran of course has been boasting of wiping Israel off the map. He spoke about the old notion of land for peace but said this should now be referred to as land for war.
