SIMILARITIES BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 109 (Tuesday, June 30, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 109 (Tuesday, June 30, 2026)] [House] [Page H4350] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] SIMILARITIES BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I suppose what I should lead off with is asking for half a minute or so of silence as we consider what I think is the most damaging Supreme Court decision of my time. Instead of going that way, I will address those few people in my district who have come up to me and have been surprisingly anti-Israel. One thing I point out is the similarity between Israel and the United States that is not talked about enough is that we have people from all around the globe trying to get in both countries. I point out one way Israel is similar is that they are taking people from the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Malawi, Ecuador, Kenya, and China into their country to work because it is such a wonderful place. Just like Israel is a wonderful place, so is the United States. Both of us have to put up with leftwing crazy people attacking us for being racist. Mr. Speaker, I thank Israel for taking people from all around the world who know they would be better off there than in their home countries. ____________________
