If you are not a regular reader of “The Lid” you may not have seen this interview with Congressman Peter Roskam (R-Ill) Deputy Majority Whip and Co-Chair of Republican Israel Caucus.
The interview refers to an op-ed in Politico by Congressman Roskam and Virginia’s Republican Congressman and Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
Here is an excerpt:
This morning Politico carried an op-ed composed by two members of the House GOP leadership: Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), and Peter Roskam (R-Ill) Deputy Majority Whip and Co-Chair of Republican Israel Caucus.
The two Republicans pointed out the radical violent nature of Hamas describing it as a
..terrorist organization whose founding charter instructs, “The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him.”They said that because of the unification agreement that would give Hamas governmental power within the Palestinian Authority, the United States should cut off the Authority’s financial aid.
The Hamas-Fatah reconciliation agreement empowers Hamas terrorists and endangers Israel. The U.S. must use every tool in our diplomatic arsenal to make clear that we will not tolerate a Palestinian government that includes Hamas.It is our duty, as leader of the free world, to do no less.
