There is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Equating a democratic state with a terror group that rapes, murders, delights in acts of genocide and eagerly aims to maximize civilian deaths demonstrates the ICC's gaping moral failure. No other nation is held to this standard. Read more »

Today’s vote was a partisan stunt, which Republicans hoped would paper over their failure to provide aid to Israel for six months.

“As Maykel and Luis Manuel’s sponsor and principal advocate in Congress, I encourage you to join me…to ensure that their sacrifice on behalf of Patria y Vida – fatherland and life – was not made in vain.” Read more »

We are grateful that members of the Foreign Affairs Committee share our outrage regarding the Maduro regime’s renewed assault on democracy in Venezuela and stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people, who continue to suffer under the boot of the dictatorship. Read more »

We condemn the rape, sexual mutilation, and gender-based violence employed by Hamas terrorists on October 7th against innocent people in Israel and the continued threat against the remaining hostages in Gaza. Read more »
