The United States Senate sent a message of solidarity to Israel on Thursday by unanimously passing a resolution that expressed firm support for Israel's right to protect its people from terrorism on the second day of Pillar of Defense.
Introduced by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), Senate Resolution 599 expressed 'vigorous support and unwavering commitment to the welfare, security, and survival of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state with secure borders, and recognizing and strongly supporting its right to act in self-defense to protect its citizens against acts of terrorism.'
Sixty-two Senators joined the bipartisan resolution as co-sponsors.
Most Americans are protected from the travails and vagaries of our food sources. The five-year cycle of Congressional debates on agricultural subsidies may underwhelm you, but it is relevant to your family's well-being in hidden ways. On Thursday, the Senate approved a new farm bill that would cost nearly $1 trillion over the next 10 years.
