Rep. Ros-Lehtinen, Sen. Cruz Lead Bipartisan Letter to UNESCO Member States: Do Not Rewrite Jerusalem’s History

Letter urges opposition to UNESCO agenda item that diminishes the historic Jewish and Christian ties to Jerusalem

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today led a bipartisan, bicameral letter to members of the Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) urging opposition to an item in UNESCO’s provisional agenda, a resolution that would diminish the historic and verified Jewish and Christian ties to the Old City of Jerusalem in an effort to delegitimize Israel. Thirty-nine of Rep. Ros-Lehtinen’s and Sen. Cruz’s colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate joined them in sending the letter.

Statement by Rep. Ros-Lehtinen:

“I’m proud to lead this initiative with Ted and be joined by so many of our colleagues in sending this bipartisan and bicameral letter to these member delegations of UNESCO’s Executive Board, urging them to do the right thing and oppose this shameful resolution which seeks to undermine Jewish and Christian ties to Jerusalem. The resolution’s ill intent is unmistakable: to deny the historical record of the Jewish peoples’ connections to their holiest city and to imply that Jerusalem is inconsequential to Jews and Christians, with the intent of laying the groundwork for additional UN efforts to delegitimize Israel and undermine its status as the capital of the Jewish State. Furthermore, this irresponsible and reprehensible resolution falsely lays the blame for the violence on Israel since last October while ignoring the acts of terror and violence that are being incited by the Palestinian Authority and Abu Mazen. UNESCO was created to build intercultural understanding yet, as is the case across the entire UN system, intolerance and intentionally corrosive behavior on the part of many of the organization's members has undermined its original mission and only further underscores the need for drastic reform throughout the entire UN system.”

Statement by Sen. Cruz:

“I am proud to lead this bipartisan, bicameral effort with Rep. Ros-Lehtinen. The United Nations’ obsessive hostility towards Israel will be on display yet again this week as UNESCO considers another blatantly biased resolution that unjustly singles out our close ally Israel with false accusations and criticism, and attempts to erase the specific deep-rooted, historical connection of Jews and Christians to Jerusalem, Israel’s eternal capital. For thousands of years, Jerusalem has played a defining, central role in the history and identity of the Jewish people. For Christians, Jerusalem is a seminal spiritual site. This resolution flies in the face of, among other things, science as recent archeological excavations, notably in the City of David, have revealed incontrovertible, physical evidence that reaffirms Jewish and Christian ties to the holy city of Jerusalem. Members of the UNESCO Executive Board should vote against this intentional campaign to deny these historical truths, rewrite the history of Jerusalem, and delegitimize Israel.”

Rep. Ros-Lehtinen and Sen. Cruz also sent a separate letter to Ambassador Samantha Powers, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and U.S. Ambassador Crystal Nix-Hines, U.S. Permanent Representative to UNESCO, urging them to use the full voice, vote, and influence of the United States to defeat the measure.

The full text of the letter is included below:

As the 200th session of the Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) prepares to meet in the coming days in Paris, France, we write to urge your mission to oppose Item 25 of the provisional agenda under “Occupied Palestine” that diminishes the historic and verified Jewish and Christian ties to the Old City of Jerusalem.

As acknowledged by the draft text of Item 25, the Old City of Jerusalem is important to the three monotheistic religions. Numerous archaeological excavations have uncovered a myriad of antiquities that scientifically prove the historical connection of all three religions to Jerusalem, such as the discovery of the Pool of Siloam or the restoration of floor tiles of the Second Temple in the City of David. We celebrate the heritage and cultural ties of these religions to Jerusalem and the importance of Jerusalem to millions of people around the world.

Yet, this resolution seems to prioritize the Muslim heritage of the Old City, while diminishing the ties of either of the other religions. For example, the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, along with the Western Wall, where Jews from all over the world have come to pray, are described exclusively as Muslim holy sites and referred to only by their Muslim names. When the Western Wall is referenced, it is only with quotation marks, implying that the title is unofficial and not based on historic fact.

UNESCO’s mission is to build intercultural understanding through protection of heritage and support for cultural diversity. This unnecessarily divisive and selective resolution undermines the very purpose and integrity of UNESCO by seeking to rewrite Jerusalem's history, rejects Jerusalem's multi-cultural heritage, and undercuts Jerusalem's extraordinary diversity. Forged in the aftermath of World War II, UNESCO strives to establish peace on the basis of humanity’s moral and intellectual solidarity. Attempting to erase the Jewish and Christian connection to this sacred city will further damage the prospects of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. It is incumbent upon all Member States of the Executive Board to respect and protect the religious, cultural, and historical significance of Jerusalem as they would all other World Heritage sites and to uphold the values and ideals enshrined in UNESCO’s Constitution.

We therefore respectfully urge your mission to UNESCO to oppose Item 25 of the provisional agenda for the Executive Board's 200th session.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

January 4, 2017

Mr. Franks of Arizona (for himself, Mr. DeSantis, and Mr. Zeldin) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs

A BILL

To recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to transfer to Jerusalem the United States Embassy located in Tel Aviv.

1.Short titleThis Act may be cited as the Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel Act.

2.FindingsCongress finds the following:

(1)For more than 3,000 years, the Jewish people have maintained a continuous connection and presence in the land of Israel and their eternal and indivisible capital city of Jerusalem.

(2)The State of Israel was established on May 14, 1948, in the wake of World War II in order to serve as a homeland and place of refuge for the Jewish people.

(3)From 1948 to 1967, Jerusalem was a divided city and not all Israeli citizens of all faiths were entitled to visit the holy sites, and Jews from other countries were restricted in their access to holy sites in the area controlled by Jordan. In 1967, the city of Jerusalem was reunited during the conflict known as the Six Day War, and since 1967, Jerusalem has been a unified city administered by Israel, and persons of all faiths have been guaranteed full access to the holy sites within the city.

(4)On July 31, 1988, Jordan relinquished its disputed sovereignty claims to Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem, and therefore sovereign claims to these areas remain disputed, not occupied.

(5)In 1990, Congress unanimously adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 106, which declares that Congress strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic religious group are protected.

(6)In 1995, Congress overwhelmingly approved the Jerusalem Embassy Act (Public Law 104–45), requiring the establishment of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem not later than May 31, 1999.

(7)The United States maintains its embassy in the functioning capital in every country except in the State of Israel.

(8)Israel has far exceeded the 1907 Hague Regulation as directed by international law. Israel has taken all measures to restore and ensure public order and safety in Jerusalem.

(9)Jerusalem has been far safer and more protected under Israel’s administration than under any previous authorities.

(10)Civil life is entirely present in Jerusalem, and all government institutions and related frameworks are also present, including the Knesset, the Bank of Israel, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister’s and President’s offices, and the Supreme Court.

3.Recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocation of the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem(a)PolicyIt is the policy of the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel, both de jure and de facto.

(b)Sense of CongressIt is the sense of Congress that—

(1)the United States should recognize the sovereign status of an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel;

(2)recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and transferring the United States Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv will send a signal of United States commitment and resolve to Israel;

(3)the President and the Secretary of State should publicly affirm as a matter of United States policy that Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of the State of Israel;

(4)the President should immediately implement the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 (Public Law 104–45), as amended by section 4 of this Act, and begin the process of relocating the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem; and

(5)United States officials should refrain from any actions that contradict United States law on this subject.

(c)Identification of Jerusalem on Government DocumentsNotwithstanding any other provision of law, any official document of the United States Government which lists countries and their capital cities shall identify Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

(d)RelocationNot later than January 1, 2019, the President shall relocate the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

4.Amendment to the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995(a)RepealSubject to subsection (b) of this section, section 7 of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is repealed.

(b)Effective dateThe repeal specified in subsection (a) shall take effect on January 1, 2018.

(c)RedesignationAt the time of the repeal specified in subsection (a), section 8 of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 shall be redesignated as section 7.

(1)details the Department of State’s plan to implement this Act;

(2)includes estimated dates of completion for each phase of the establishment of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem, including—(A)site identification;

(B)land acquisition;

(C)architectural, engineering, and construction surveys;

(D)site preparation; and

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and therefore, consistent with the location of other United States embassies, the United States embassy in Israel should be located in Jerusalem.

Whereas the city of Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s Government, including its President, Parliament, and Supreme Court, and is the site of numerous government ministries and social and cultural institutions;

Whereas since June 7, 1967, the city of Jerusalem has been an undivided city;

Whereas since 1995, it has been Federal law to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to relocate to Jerusalem the United States Embassy in Israel, and this law has not been superseded;

Whereas this sense of Congress has no bearing on the final status of Jerusalem as the United States is not a party to the Israel-Palestinian conflict;

Whereas the United States maintains its embassy in the functioning capital of every country except in the case of the United States democratic friend and strategic ally, the State of Israel; and

Whereas the United States maintains a consulate in the city of Jerusalem that conducts the official business of the United States Government: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that—

(1)

the United States Government should officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel; and

(2)

the United States embassy in Israel should be located in the city of Jerusalem.

an attack on October 1, 2015, when two Israelis traveling with their four children were killed in a drive-by shooting near Nabulus;

an attempted attack on September 21, 2015, when an Israel Defense Forces soldier was injured by a firebomb near Joseph’s Tomb; and

(266)

an attack on September 13, 2015, when an Israeli was killed after his vehicle was struck by rocks near Jerusalem;

Whereas the international community has remained nearly silent in response to these attacks and attempted attacks;

Whereas Palestinian violence is driven by anti-Jewish incitement and delegitimization of Israel’s right to exist;

Whereas Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in addressing the Arab League in Cairo, Egypt, stated on May 28, 2016, that we [the Palestinian Authority] incite [against Israel] in the media and in educational institutions;

Whereas Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on July 30, 2013, that in a final resolution, [the Palestinian Authority] would not see the presence of a single Israeli in the state of Palestine;

Whereas Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas stated on a September 16, 2015, television broadcast that We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem. This is pure blood, clean blood, blood on its way to Allah. With the help of Allah, every martyr will be in heaven, and every wounded will get his reward;

Whereas the Palestinian Government praises Palestinian terrorists as heroes to be commended and emulated;

Whereas Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza routinely distribute sweets to celebrate successful terrorist attacks;

Whereas on September 30, 2015, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said during a speech to the United Nations that the Palestinian Authority is no longer bound to the 1995 Oslo Accords which established the two-state solution for peace;

Whereas in a November 2014 address commemorating the 10th anniversary of Yasser Arafat’s death, President Abbas said that as Israel has no claim to Jerusalem, he will not allow the Temple Mount to be contaminated by Jews, and threatened that Jewish prayer at the site would cause a devastating religious war;

Whereas in June 2013, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas referenced Israeli acts which indicate an evil and dangerous plot to destroy Al-Aqsa and build the alleged temple; and

Whereas Israelis and Palestinians alike have the right to live in safety and dignity; Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States—

(1)

condemns incitement and acts of violence against Israeli citizens;

(2)

calls on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to publically condemn incitement and acts of violence against Israeli citizens and to discontinue incitement in Palestinian Authority-controlled media outlets;

(3)

calls on the international community to condemn incitement and acts of violence against Israeli citizens;

(4)

believes that any chance at lasting peace can only happen through peaceful, bilateral, discussions and sound consultation with peaceful allies, not calls for bloodshed;

(5)

expresses support for individuals and organizations working to encourage cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians, and the many activists within Israel and the Palestinian territories working to bring an end to the conflict; and

(6)

reaffirms the friendship between Israel and the United States.

Responsibly And Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2012 or the RAPID Act - (Sec. 2) States that the purpose of this Act is to establish procedures to streamline, increase the efficiency of, and enhance coordination of agency administration of the regulatory review, environmental decision making, and permitting process for major actions that are construction activities undertaken, reviewed, or funded by federal agencies.

Authorizes a project sponsor, upon the request of a lead agency (the agency responsible preparing the environmental document), to prepare any document for environmental review required in support of, or for approval of, such an activity if such agency furnishes oversight and independently evaluates, approves, and adopts such document prior to taking action or making any approval based on such document. Defines "environmental review" as federal agency procedures for preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS), environmental assessment (EA), categorical exclusion, or other document under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).

Prohibits requiring more than one EIS and one EA for a project, except for supplemental environmental documents prepared under NEPA or environmental documents prepared pursuant to a court order. Requires the lead agency to prepare the EIS or EA, except as otherwise provided by law. Prohibits, after the lead agency issues a record of decision, any federal agency responsible for making any approval for a project from relying on a document other than the environmental document prepared by the lead agency.

Allows the lead agency, upon the request of a project sponsor, to: (1) adopt, use, or rely upon secondary and cumulative impact analyses included in documents prepared under NEPA for projects in the same geographic area if such documents are pertinent to the NEPA decision for the project under review; and (2) adopt a document that has been prepared for a project under state laws as the EIS or EA for the project if such laws provide environmental protection and opportunities for public involvement that are substantially equivalent to NEPA. Requires the lead agency to publish a supplement to the state document if: (1) a significant change has been made to the project that is relevant for purposes of environmental review of the project, or (2) there have been significant changes in circumstances or availability of information relevant to the environmental review for the project. Requires a lead agency to issue its record of decision or finding of no significant impact based upon such adopted document.

Authorizes a lead agency to adopt for a project an environmental document for a similar project that is in geographical proximity and that was subject to environmental review or similar state procedures within the preceding five years if the agency determines that there is a reasonable likelihood that the projects will have similar environmental impacts.

Requires the lead agency to invite and designate as a participating agency in the preparation of an environmental document for a project any federal agency that is required to adopt such document. Requires such an agency to collaborate on the preparation of such document unless it informs the lead agency that it has no jurisdiction, authority, expertise, or information with respect to, and does not intend to submit comments on, the project. Precludes any agency that declines to participate from submitting comments on such document or taking measures to oppose any permit, license, or approval related to that project based on the environmental review. Prohibits the lead agency from acting upon, responding to, or including in any document prepared under NEPA any comment submitted by a participating agency that concerns matters that are outside of such agency's authority and expertise.

Requires federal agencies to carry out: (1) obligations under other applicable laws concurrently and in conjunction with the review required under NEPA; and (2) such rules, policies, and procedures as may be reasonably necessary to enable such agency to ensure the completion of the environmental review and environmental decision making process in a timely, coordinated, and environmentally responsible manner.

Sets forth provisions concerning requirements for initiating and completing environmental review for a project, including requirements for: (1) determining the range of alternatives to be considered; (2) methodologies for analyzing such alternatives, including potential effects on employment; (3) a plan for coordinating public and agency participation in the environmental review; (4) periods for public and agency comments on draft EISs; and (5) a schedule for completing the review. Requires all participating agencies to comply with such schedule.

Establishes: (1) for projects requiring preparation of an EA, a one-year deadline for issuing a finding of no significant impact or a Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS; and (2) for projects requiring preparation of an EIS, a two-year deadline for completing the EIS. Sets forth conditions for extensions.

Sets forth deadlines for decisions required under any other federal law relating to the undertaking of a project being reviewed under NEPA. Deems: (1) a project to be approved in the event that a federal agency fails to approve or otherwise act upon a permit, license, or other similar application for approval related to a project within such deadlines, and (2) such approval to be final agency action that may not be reversed by an agency.

Prescribes responsibilities of the lead agency and the participating agencies to work cooperatively to identify and resolve issues that could delay completion of the environmental review or could result in denial of any approvals required for the project under applicable laws.

Requires the head of each federal agency to report annually on: (1) the projects for which the agency initiated preparation of an EIS or EA; (2) the projects for which the agency issued a record of decision or a finding of no significant impact and the length of time it took the agency to complete the environmental review for each such project; and (3) the filing and resolution of any lawsuits against the agency seeking judicial review of a permit, license, or approval issued by the agency for an action subject to NEPA.

Sets forth limitations to claims arising under federal law seeking judicial review of a permit, license, or approval issued by a federal agency for an action subject to NEPA.

Requires the Council on Environmental Quality and each federal agency to amend NEPA implementing regulations to implement the provisions of this Act.

Sitting in committee not voted on never made it to the floor, But that okay he still got paid.

RESOLUTION

Disapproving of President Obama and his administration’s refusal to veto the anti-Israel resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on December 23, 2016.

Whereas the State of Israel has been a loyal friend and strong ally to the United States since its establishment in 1948;

Whereas the United States Government has historically opposed and vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions that are one-sided and anti-Israel;

Whereas, on December 23, 2016, the United Nations Security Council adopted an anti-Israel resolution that threatens peace in the Middle East and breaks longstanding United States foreign policy; and

Whereas the United States Government, under the direction of President Barack Obama, broke its longstanding commitment to the State of Israel, our strongest ally in the Middle East, by refusing to veto this one-sided and anti-Israel resolution: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives—(1)disapproves of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 adopted on December 23, 2016;

(2)disapproves of President Barack Obama and his administration’s failure to veto this one-sided and anti-Israel resolution;

(3)affirms the United States Government in the future must continue to oppose and veto United Nations Security Council resolutions that are one-sided and anti-Israel;

(4)affirms its commitment to the State of Israel as our loyal friend and strong ally in the Middle East; and

(5)affirms its commitment to work with future Presidents to strengthen our alliance with the State of Israel.

This has nothing to do with the Capital of Israel being Jerusalem and moving the Embassy to Jerusalem Israel. Someone is lying and it not me.This bill is an election plug for Dennis Ross his 2 years is up

Introduced in House (09/27/2016)

Student Loan Repayment Act of 2016

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a work opportunity tax credit for employers who hire a qualified student loan repayer. A "qualified student loan repayer" is any individual who is certified by the designated local agency as: (1) having at least an associate's degree, and (2) having outstanding education loans of at least $10,000.

The bill also allows a business tax credit equal to 50% of the student loan program startup costs paid by employers during the year, subject to a limit of $500 per employee participating in the program. The credit applies to the ordinary and necessary expenses for the establishment or administration of a student loan repayment plan through which the employer provides specified annual matching contributions to each employee. The credit does not apply to payments made to, or on behalf of, any employee pursuant to the plan. An employer may claim the credit for three years if the employer has not established or maintained a plan for substantially the same employees during the three-year period immediately preceding the first year in which the credit is otherwise allowable.

This bill did not come to vote . It is still sitting in committee. Dennis Ross does not follow through his bills. This bill is to protect big industry, banks and investment firms not the student.

This is not protection for the student but permits a slave labor relationship. We need to pass a bill to allow students to declare bankruptcy and allow the student to reorganize. The Federal Government gives scholarships and grants to foreign students . This has to be eliminated. The Federal Government gives money to the University. This should be used to either lower or bring the cost of education to zero.
