00:00Mr. Speaker, the same day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed our Congress
00:08and spoke of how Iran has exported anti-Semitism around the world, including the United States,
00:16we saw reminders of that disgusting and dangerous influence just blocks from our capital.
00:22Protesters' graffitied Hamas is coming.
00:27Welcome to the Intifada and other anti-Semitic messages outside Union Station.
00:36Some brandished Hamas flags while burning the Stars and Stripes.
00:40This anti-Semitic hate has no place anywhere in the world, let alone within the view of
00:47this capital.
00:49This vile hatred is a continuation of millennia of prejudice, discrimination, persecution,
00:59and violence towards Jews.
01:01Hate and bigotry are un-American.
01:05Hate and bigotry are the tools of fascists, dictators, and thugs, the foul products of
01:12twisted minds.
01:16Hate and bigotry endanger not only Jews, but democracy itself.
01:21It falls to each of us, Mr. Speaker, to remove the cancer of anti-Semitism from our society.
01:29Jews are and have always been a fundamental part of our American family, and no amount
01:37of spray paint can ever change that.
01:39I yield back.
