REP. ROKITA CALLS ON UNITED NATIONS TO SUPPORT ISRAEL ON HOUSE FLOOR

1

Recently our friends in the Jewish community celebrated their holiest days. During these times, I know they have taken note of America’s strong support for Israel. Our two countries are tied by common values and joint interests as we share commitments to freedom and democracy—societal pillars in short supply in Israel’s immediate neighborhood.  The history of the Jewish people is one of faith, honor, and most importantly, survival.

This week, President Trump reiterated our nation’s strong support for Israel in his address to the United Nations General Assembly.  He told the world that the United States will not stay silent against threats to Israel and made it clear that moving the American embassy was a sign of peace. I am calling on the rest of our world leaders to acknowledge Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel and to protect God’s chosen people at their time of peril. It is time we all stand in solidarity for the Israeli nation.

  1. Some one needs to remind Mr. Rokita that America is NOT a “religious” country, and I think if he actually reads the US Constitution, he will find the word “god” no place. I find it rather funny that folks like Rokita opposed almost any international intervention when it came from the Obama WH but now that Comrade Trump is in power, by all means, America MUST intervene. What’s it gonna be Mr. Rokita- intervene or keep to ourselves?
