00:00Senator from Oklahoma is recognized. Mr. President, I want to make a comment on a lands bill that is my frustration of where things have gone today on some things.
00:08But I did want to just pause for a moment and recognize that two staff members at the Israeli embassy were murdered last night here in Washington, D.C. simply because they were Jewish.
00:20The murderer literally hovered outside of the Jewish museum here in Washington, D.C., waiting for someone to walk out to murder.
00:27Just a just a random person, apparently, just to be able to kill a Jew and then later screamed at the front door, free Palestine.
00:38This is anti-Semitism at its worst.
00:43And I want my Jewish friends to be able to know we're praying for you.
00:47We're speaking out on your behalf today.
00:50And we have not forgotten this kind of hatred and anti-Semitism cannot continue in America.
