Bill > AJR42

Introduced Session

This joint resolution expresses the Legislature's support for the end of hostilities between Israel and Palestine, and expresses hopes for peace and respect between the two countries. Since October 7, 2023, many innocent civilians have lost their lives and many more have been injured as a result of hostilities and other human tragedies in Israel and Palestine. This State, through many of its community members, has personal connections to non-combatant victims and residents in Israel and Palestine and thus sheds its tears for all the children and families harmed in this conflict. This Legislature recognizes the thousands of innocent lives lost, extends its deepest condolences, and hopes for a quick end to all hostilities and the complete restoration of peace in the region. The citizens of both Israel and Palestine deserve to live in peace and harmony forged by a sense of freedom, dignity, and country. This Legislature is committed to supporting a peaceful coexistence among the State's diverse communities and rejects any kind of hatred and bigotry. Many in this State, and specifically this Legislature, take a pledge to "stand up for the other" which means, "while interacting with members of my own faith, or ethnic, or gender community, or with others, if I hear hateful comments from anyone about members of any other community, I pledge to stand up for the other and speak up to challenge bigotry in any form." This Legislature seeks to convey to all communities this pledge and requests every member of the State to "stand up for the other."
