Washington, D.C.—Congressman Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) has penned an op-ed for the Dallas Morning News, expressing his condemnation of the recent attacks in Israel and stressing the importance of U.S. support for the country. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Moran emphasizes that the events in Israel should concern every individual, regardless of their background or political affiliation.

In his op-ed, Congressman Moran denounces the acts of hate and evil perpetrated by Hamas, a well-known Iranian-backed terrorist organization. He highlights their commitment to the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people, citing the beheading of babies, rape and slaughter of innocent concertgoers, desecration of the dead, and the taking of hostages, including Americans. He emphasizes the urgent need for action and the defeat of these enemies of the U.S. and Israel.

Congressman Moran calls for unwavering support for Israel, stating that the U.S. should provide whatever assistance is necessary, including financial aid, intelligence sharing, military equipment, and direct military support. He also advocates for imposing tough economic sanctions against individuals, organizations, and nations involved in the attacks. The goal is to work towards safety, stability, and peace in the region, which is precisely what these terrorists seek to undermine.

To prevent the terrorists from succeeding, Congressman Moran emphasizes the importance of supporting Israel's normalization efforts in the region. He fully supports the expansion of the Abraham Accords, which served as a model for normalizing relations between Israel and other Middle Eastern countries in 2020. He urges the U.S. to work closely with Arab partners to ensure that the terrorists do not derail efforts towards peace.

Congressman Moran asserts that now is not the time for timidity but for strength and unity with Israel. He believes that taking decisive action will deter evil, preserve life, and promote liberty. He also urges reflection on recent U.S. diplomatic and military policies, emphasizing that weakness invites aggression and appeasement is not a winning foreign policy strategy. Change is necessary in the U.S. foreign policy to ensure that friends know they can rely on America's strength and steadiness when it matters most.

In conclusion, Congressman Moran calls for a return to the doctrine of "peace through strength." He emphasizes the need to offer strength and steadfastness to combat evildoers in the world and protect innocent lives. Standing with Israel is a crucial step in this endeavor.

By condemning the attacks in Israel and advocating for strong U.S. support for the country, Congressman Moran highlights the importance of unity and action in the face of hate and evil. His op-ed serves as a call to arms for the U.S. to change its current course in foreign and military affairs and to stand firmly with its trusted ally, Israel, for freedom's sake and America's sake.
