H.R. No. 10
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Hamas was founded with the stated goal of destroying
the State of Israel and has been designated by the United States as
a Foreign Terrorist Organization; and
WHEREAS, The Hamas terrorist organization launched a brutal,
highly organized, and unprecedented attack upon Israel and its
citizens in the early morning hours of October 7, 2023; and
WHEREAS, In its attack, Hamas has killed hundreds of innocent
civilians and taken hundreds of Israeli children, women, elderly,
and infirm civilians hostage; and
WHEREAS, In its attack, Hamas has fired thousands of rockets
against Israeli population centers in an attempt to kill untold
numbers of innocent civilians; and
WHEREAS, The level of logistical sophistication demonstrated
in this Hamas terrorism operation indicates its receipt of support
and funding from foreign state sponsors of terror, namely Iran; and
WHEREAS, The timing of this Hamas terrorism operation to
coincide with the observance of the Jewish Sabbath and celebration
of the Sukkoth holiday demonstrates the intent to maximize civilian
casualties; and
WHEREAS, Hamas continues to brazenly locate elements of its
terrorist infrastructure in civilian population centers using
civilians as human shields; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby
1. Reaffirm its support and unwavering commitment to the
welfare, security, and survival of the State of Israel;
2. Recognize Israel's right to act decisively and
unilaterally in self-defense to protect its citizens;
3. Express its support for Israel's right to pursue without
interference or condemnation the elimination of Hamas until Hamas
is permanently neutralized and public safety is assured;
4. Convey its most heartfelt condolences to all Israeli
victims as well as their families and communities;
5. Call upon Texas law enforcement to remain vigilant in
protecting Israeli Americans, Jewish Americans, and all supporters
of Israel from acts of crime and unlawful discrimination that tend
to manifest at such times;
6. Encourage all other American states to likewise condemn
Hamas as well as any official body that refuses to recognize
Israel's right to act decisively in self-defense to protect its
citizens; and
7. Call upon the United States to provide all assistance as
may be required to support Israel in its defense against Hamas and
all other terrorist organizations.
