FWIW, the Senate resolution passed this evening. N.Z. Bear has the full text. FoxNews.com:

The Senate approved by voice vote Tuesday a resolution condemning Hezbollah and Hamas and their state sponsors, which include Syria and Iran, and supporting Israel’s exercise of its right to self-defense.

“I applaud my Senate colleagues for their overwhelming support of this resolution, which reaffirms America’s support for the State of Israel in its fight against Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists who continue to target Israeli soldiers and civilians,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who added that the recent outbreak of violence started with “unprovoked attacks” on Israel by the terror groups.

“The Senate has spoken loud and clear: Israel has the right to defend itself against aggression. While I urge the Israeli government to act carefully, there should be no doubt as to where we stand in this conflict,” Frist said.

The Republican-run House is eyeing a vote on Wednesday on a similar resolution supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, condemning Hezbollah’s rocket and missile attacks on northern Israel and backing early White House moves to cope with the crisis.

Update: Reader Chris e-mails…

I hope the Senate is not supporting Israel the way it is the border fence with Mexico(voting for a fence but not voting for the funding).
