What is heartbreaking is the very fact that you all have to be in front of The US House of Representatives to condemn crimes committed in Israel on October 7,2023. Shame you have to be placed into the spotlight to condemn those acts.

Also equally heartbreaking is the apparent fact a few of the Charlottesville bad apples have somehow made their way into leadership positions at our leading universities.

Rick W. Allen (GA-12), while you thump on Biblical texts, recall also that Biblical texts describe Different political regimes stating conflicting political arguments - &, if you have faith in God, then see a recurrent anti-political theme of no need for strong institutions, prudent leaders, nor reformist policies. Simultaneously, in Biblical books of law & prophecy, people of Israel are called to overcome oppression, “let justice well up like water, righteousness like unfailing stream.” ☺
