Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the same day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed our Congress and spoke of how Iran has exported anti-Semitism around the world, including the United States, we saw reminders of that disgusting and dangerous influence just blocks from our Capitol. Protesters graffitied ``Hamas is coming,'' ``Welcome to the Intifada,'' and other anti-Semitic messages outside of Union Station. Some brandished Hamas flags while burning the Stars and Stripes. This anti-Semitic hate has no place anywhere in the world, let alone within the view of this Capitol. This vile hatred is a continuation of millennia of prejudice, discrimination, persecution, and violence toward Jews. Hate and bigotry are un-American. Hate and bigotry are the tools of fascists, dictators, and thugs--the foul products of twisted minds. Hatred and bigotry endanger not only Jews but democracy itself. It falls to each of us, Mr. Speaker, to remove the cancer of anti-Semitism from our society. Jews are and have always been a fundamental part of our American family, and no amount of spray paint can ever change that. ____________________”
