House overwhelmingly backs Israel in vote
The resolution, which was passed on a 410-8 vote, also condemns enemies of the Jewish state.
"There's a lot (of lawmakers) that don't feel it's right ... but vote yes, and get it the heck out of here," Rahall said.
"This is the usual problem with any resolution that talks about Israel â there are a lot of closet naysayers up there (in Congress), but they don't want to be a target of the lobby" of Israel, said Eugene H. Bird, president of the Council for the National Interest, a group that harshly condemns Israel's military campaign.
