On Monday, June 30, 2014, Congressman Al Green released the following statement on the murder of the three kidnapped Israeli teenagers (including one who holds US citizenship).

"The dastardly kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli teenagers has shocked the consciences of all people of good will. No child should be used as a bargaining chip or pawn in the midst of a conflict. Any such group or actors who would take children as hostages and murder them are dastards, and they have no place in polite discourse. Unfortunately, we have seen the targeting of children for political purposes in other places as well, including the kidnapping of school-girls in Nigeria. I trust that the authorities will not stop until all guilty parties are brought to justice or justice is brought to all guilty parties."
