As cochair of the Congressional Study Group on Japan. I was especially appalled that ISIL executed the Japanese captives in response to Japan pledging nonmilitary aid to support the victims of ISILs terror. Millions of Iraqi and Syrian refugees are in desperate need of assistance. and I applaud Japan for standing with the United States and a coalition of nations committed to confronting ISILs barbarity. The continued murder of foreign captives and the ongoing atrocities committed against tens of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians are a stark reminder that we cannot allow ISIL to continue unchecked. Instead. as international community we must remain united in our resolve to stop this evil and help work toward a stable. peaceful Middle East.
