Condemning the terrorism inflicted on Israel since the Aqaba Summit and 
expressing solidarity with the Israeli people in their fight against terrorism. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 24, 2003
Mr. LANTOS (for himself, Mr. DELAY, Ms. PELOSI, and Mr. HYDE) submitted 
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Inter-
national Relations 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning the terrorism inflicted on Israel since the Aqaba 
Summit and expressing solidarity with the Israeli people 
in their fight against terrorism.
Whereas Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud 
Abbas (Abu Mazen) announced at the June 4, 2003, 
Aqaba Summit, ‘‘Our goal is clear, and we will implement 
it firmly and without compromise: a complete end to vio-
lence and terrorism’’; 
Whereas Prime Minister Abbas also pledged at the Aqaba 
Summit to establish a system based on ‘‘rule of law, [a] 
single political authority, [and] weapons only in the 
hands of those who are in charge of upholding the law 
and order . . .’’;
•HRES 294 IH 
Whereas the Middle East roadmap begins with the assertion 
that ‘‘A two state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian con-
flict will only be achieved through an end to violence and 
terrorism (when the Palestinian people have a leadership 
acting decisively against terror and willing and able to 
build a practicing democracy based on tolerance and lib-
erty)’’; 
Whereas 22 innocent Israelis nevertheless were murdered and 
scores wounded in three separate suicide bombings within 
less than a week after the Aqaba Summit, and the death 
toll from these terrorist actions is the equivalent of 1,100 
on the basis of the United States population, nearly ten 
times the number of battle deaths the United States suf-
fered in the recent Iraq War; 
Whereas Palestinians are also victims of these terrorists, who 
undermine prospects for a just and lasting peace; 
Whereas Islamic fundamentalist Hamas and Palestinian Is-
lamic Jihad consistently make clear their opposition to 
Israel’s existence in any form and within any borders and 
their determination to use violence and terrorism to 
achieve their anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic goals, and Hamas 
leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi vowed ‘‘not to leave one Jew 
in Palestine’’; 
Whereas experience with terrorism demonstrates that there 
can be no productive negotiations or dialogue with terror-
ists and that a policy based on compromise with terror-
ists can only be doomed to failure; 
Whereas the concept of ‘‘cycle of violence’’, which implies 
moral equivalence between terrorists and their victims, 
should be rejected as a description of Israeli-Palestinian 
dynamics, since Palestinian terrorism justifies Israeli

counterterrorist operations as the response of a legitimate 
government defending its citizens; 
Whereas Israeli counterterrorist operations would cease en-

may be created based on rule of law and respect for 
human rights; 
(6) recognizes and respects Israel’s right to 
fight terrorism and acknowledges Israel’s fight 
against terrorism as part of the global war against 
terrorism;
•HRES 294 IH 
(7) calls on all states to cease recognition of 
and political and material support for any Pales-
tinian and other terrorist groups; 
(8) calls on all states immediately to establish 
effective mechanisms to ensure that funding from 
private citizens cannot be directed to terrorist 
groups for any purpose whatsoever, including osten-
sible humanitarian purposes; 
(9) calls on all states to provide support to the 
Palestinian Authority in its effort to confront and 
fight terror; and 
(10) calls on all states to assist the Palestinian 
people in creating the institutions of a democratic 
state that will respect the rule of law and live in 
peace with its neighbors.
