MADISON - Today, Rep. Madison abstained on AJR 82. Representative Madison (D-10) issued the following statement:
AJR 82 rightfully included incredibly important language mourning the loss of life of innocent Israeli civilians. I abstained from this resolution not because of that, but because it called for the ‘unwavering support to Israeli sovereignty’ without also calling for an end to the occupation of Palestine. I believe that the responsible way out of this crisis is to acknowledge that both Palestine and Israel have the right to self-determination. The global community must come together and call for an immediate ceasefire so that we can work towards lasting peace. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” |
