Whereas, Jesus Christ declared “blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 5, Verse 9; and
Whereas, Innocent lives are being lost in both Israel and Palestine; and
Whereas, Involvement in any escalation of these actions can result in further loss of American lives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor peacemakers who are working to de-escalate the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. We recognize those who are working to de-escalate the war in Gaza in order to put a swift end to the loss of innocent life and mourn all who have been lost thus far.
