PEACEFUL PROTEST REGARDING GAZA IS UNDER ATTACK

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 140 (Thursday, September 3, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 140 (Thursday, September 3, 2026)] [House] [Page H5493] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1110 PEACEFUL PROTEST REGARDING GAZA IS UNDER ATTACK (Mr. GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, and still I rise, and for this one moment, I have a very terse and laconic message. For this one moment I would simply say: If you cannot peacefully protest the genocide that took place in Gaza, if you cannot peacefully protest this, what can you peacefully protest under the Constitution of the United States of America? I voted against this effort to prevent people from peacefully protesting what they see as an injustice. What took place in Gaza was collective punishment. It was ethnic cleansing, and it was genocide. In this country, the Constitution allows one to peacefully protest such injustices. ____________________
