Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) has issued a statement urging the United States to stand with Israel as it defends itself against a series of genocidal attacks from Iranian-backed terrorists. Crane highlights the role of Iran as an active financier of terror groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, which directly fuel vicious attacks against innocent civilians.

Crane specifically criticizes the decision made by the Biden administration to unchain $6 billion for use by the Islamic Republic of Iran without any accountability. He argues that this move has only empowered Iran to continue supporting terrorism and carry out attacks against Israel.

In reference to a recent incident, Crane states, "This morning, Hamas infiltrated Israel’s borders, launching a barbaric onslaught against innocent civilians, murdering and kidnapping women and children." He emphasizes that the State of Israel has every right to defend itself and respond with overwhelming force to ensure that such barbaric events are never repeated.

Crane also addresses the calls for Israel to back down and not retaliate, describing them as fueled by a hateful indifference towards the existence of the Jewish State. He argues that those who carried out these attacks share no moral equivalence with Israel and that there is no rational justification for their actions.

In conclusion, Crane asserts, "America must stand with Israel." He emphasizes the importance of the United States supporting Israel in its fight against terrorism and ensuring the security and survival of the Jewish State.
