Whereas the international community has remained nearly silent in response to 
        these attacks and attempted attacks;
Whereas Palestinian violence is driven by anti-Jewish incitement and 
        delegitimization of Israel's right to exist;
Whereas Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in addressing the Arab 
        League in Cairo, Egypt, stated on May 28, 2016, that ``we [the 
        Palestinian Authority] incite [against Israel] in the media and in 
        educational institutions'';
Whereas Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on July 30, 2013, 
        that ``in a final resolution, [the Palestinian Authority] would not see 
        the presence of a single Israeli'' in the state of Palestine;
Whereas Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas stated on a September 16, 
        2015, television broadcast that ``We welcome every drop of blood spilled 
        in Jerusalem. This is pure blood, clean blood, blood on its way to 
        Allah. With the help of Allah, every martyr will be in heaven, and every 
        wounded will get his reward'';
Whereas the Palestinian Government praises Palestinian terrorists as heroes to 
        be commended and emulated;
Whereas Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza routinely distribute sweets to 
        celebrate successful terrorist attacks;
Whereas on September 30, 2015, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas 
        said during a speech to the United Nations that the Palestinian 
        Authority is no longer bound to the 1995 Oslo Accords which established 
        the two-state solution for peace;
Whereas in a November 2014 address commemorating the 10th anniversary of Yasser 
        Arafat's death, President Abbas said that as Israel has no claim to 
        Jerusalem, he will not allow the Temple Mount to be ``contaminated by 
        Jews'', and threatened that Jewish prayer at the site would cause a 
        ``devastating religious war'';
Whereas in June 2013, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas referenced 
        Israeli acts which ``indicate an evil and dangerous plot to destroy Al-
        Aqsa and build the alleged temple''; and
Whereas Israelis and Palestinians alike have the right to live in safety and 
        dignity; Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the United States--
            (1) condemns incitement and acts of violence against 
        Israeli citizens;
            (2) calls on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas 
        to publically condemn incitement and acts of violence against 
        Israeli citizens and to discontinue incitement in Palestinian 
        Authority-controlled media outlets;
            (3) calls on the international community to condemn 
        incitement and acts of violence against Israeli citizens;
            (4) believes that any chance at lasting peace can only 
        happen through peaceful, bilateral, discussions and sound 
        consultation with peaceful allies, not calls for bloodshed;
            (5) expresses support for individuals and organizations 
        working to encourage cooperation between Israelis and 
        Palestinians, and the many activists within Israel and the 
        Palestinian territories working to bring an end to the 
        conflict; and
            (6) reaffirms the friendship between Israel and the United 
        States.
