House on Track to Voice Support for Israel

WASHINGTON -- The House is rushing to put itself on record as standing behind Israel
in its confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon, steamrolling efforts by a small group
of lawmakers who argue that Congress's pro-Israel stance goes too far.

Lawmakers were expected to pass by a wide margin on Thursday a resolution expressing
unstinting support for Israel and harshly condemning its enemies. The nonbinding
legislation, similar to a resolution passed by the Senate on Tuesday, also says Syria
and Iran should be held accountable for providing Hezbollah with money and missile
technology used to attack Israel.

Contrasted by the way the democratic party has been completely ignoring their base in the futile rush to attempt to get some of the repubican base.
