  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.
