“This is outrageous. It is irresponsible. It is dangerous, and it betrays the commitment this nation has made to the right of a Jewish state to exist in peace. No people on Earth want peace more than the people of Israel. No people have suffered more at the hands of this violence and this terrorism than the people of Israel. And they need America’s support, unconditionally.”
…“I hope the bipartisan nature of our support of Israel is reinvigorated. I hope that once again this body, this Congress, and this government will recommit itself to this extraordinarily important relationship. Because if America doesn’t stand with Israel, who would we stand with? If Israel, a democracy, a strong American ally on the international stage, if they are not worthy of our unconditional support, then what ally of ours around the world can feel safe in their alliance with us?”
This is an excerpt from Senator Marco Rubio’s Senate floor speech ripping into the Obama’s administrations lack of support for Israel.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Rubio added:
“Time and again this President has made it a habit of quickly calling these leaders when they win, but as of 4:40ET, as far as I know, that call has yet not been made. And thinking about all the things that have been going on with Israel, you would think they would be quick to make that call. It hasn’t happened. Maybe it has already but it certainly didn’t happen fast enough.
“But where does this come from? Is this new? Is this something that happened recently? It isn’t. In fact, you can start to see the trends here pretty early.“In October of 2008, then Senator Obama told an audience in Cleveland, ‘There is a strain within the pro-Israel community that says unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud approach’ – which is one of the political parties in Israel – ‘unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud approach to Israel then you are anti-Israeli,’ which is a silly comment to make since at that time that party had been out of power.
“In January of 2009, the President, upon taking office, makes a quick phone call to the Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, before he even phoned the Israeli Prime Minister. ‘This is my first phone call to a foreign leader and I am making it only hours after I took office,’ Abbas’ spokesman quoted Obama saying.
Watch Rubio smackdown Obama.
