Bill > HR37

This resolution recognizes the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and addresses the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The resolution acknowledges the complex situation, noting the initial Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,139 Israelis, and the subsequent Israeli military response that has resulted in the displacement of over 85% of Gaza's population and the deaths of at least 34,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. The New Hampshire House of Representatives calls on the President and federal representatives to demand more responsible oversight of U.S. military aid to Israel and other international allies, emphasizing the need to ensure compliance with international law protecting civilians in war zones. The resolution pledges support for people experiencing antisemitism, Islamophobia, or anti-Arab racism, and expresses solidarity with innocent victims of violence. It also encourages respectful dialogue on international conflicts, highlighting the state's commitment to understanding the humanitarian aspects of the Israel-Palestine situation and the importance of upholding human rights principles as outlined in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
