,mr4 ,tester1 ,mr4 ,kaine1 ,mr4 ,lee1   
and ,mr4 ,begich7 submitted the         
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign          
,relations  ,,resolution  ,expressing   
the sense of the ,senate regarding      
,united ,states support for the ,state  

of ,israel as it defends itself against 
unprovoked rocket attacks from the      
,hamas terrorist organization4  ,whereas
 ,hamas is a ,united ,states-designated 
terrorist organization whose charter    
calls for the destruction of the ,state 
of ,israel2  ,whereas ,hamas continues  
to reject the core principles of the    
,middle ,east ,quartet 7the ,united     
,nations1 the ,united ,states1 the      
,european ,union1 and                   
,russia7--recognize ,israel's right to  
exist1 renounce violence1 and accept    
previous ,israeli-,palestinian          
agreements2  ,whereas ,hamas has killed 
hundreds of ,israelis and dozens of     
,americans in rocket attacks and suicide
 bombings2  ,whereas1 since ,israel's   
withdrawal from ,gaza in #bjje1 ,hamas  
and other terrorist groups have fired   
thousands of rockets at ,israel2        
,whereas ,hamas has entered into a unity
 governing arrangement with ,fatah and  
the ,palestinian ,authority2 ,whereas   
the unity governing agreement implies   

,fatah's and the ,palestinian           
,authority's support for ,hamas'        
belligerent actions against ,israel1    
potentially contributing to a false     
perception of legitimacy for ,hamas'    
belligerent actions2 ,whereas1 since    
,june #bjad1 ,hamas has fired nearly    
#cjj rockets at ,israel2 ,whereas       
,hamas' weapons arsenal includes        
approximately #ab1jjj rockets that vary 
in range2  ,whereas innocent ,israeli   
civilians are indiscriminately targeted 
by ,hamas rocket attacks2 and  ,whereas 
#e1jjj1jjj ,israelis are currently      
living under the threat of rocket       
attacks from ,gaza3 ,now1 therefore1 be 
it  ,that the ,senate--  7#a7 reaffirms 
its support for ,israel's right to      
defend its citizens and ensure the      
survival of the ,state of ,israel2  7#b7
 condemns the unprovoked rocket fire at 
,israel2  7#c7 calls on ,hamas to       
immediately cease all rocket and other  
attacks against ,israel2 and  7#d7 calls
 on ,palestinian ,authority ,president  

,mahmoud ,abbas to dissolve the unity   
governing arrangement with ,hamas and   
condemn the attacks on ,israel4
