Israel is neither an attacking force nor an occupier of the lands of others
Republican truth is more fucked-up than even I imagined.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of this body support Israel in their natural and God-given right of self-governance and self-defense upon their own lands, recognizing that Israel is neither an attacking force nor an occupier of the lands of others; and that peace can be afforded the region only through a united Israel governed under one law for all people.

The complete denial of history and stark contrast with international opinion (eg. UN resolutions) notwithstanding, that definition does have an upside. The logical conclusion from "...one law for all people" is that Israel is an apartheid state. Absent equal treatment under the law, its credibility as a democracy is non-existent.
