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.
