Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 23, 2021
I support Israel's right to defend herself. I have always voted for defensive technology, which we should invest in. The Congress first supported Iron Dome funding a decade ago after a request made by President Obama. In 2014 I visited Israel. I saw with my own eyes how the Iron Dome stopped rockets and saved lives. This year we saw the horrific launching of rockets from Gaza toward Israeli streets. It is never okay to target civilians. While the deescalation prevailed, there was a tragic loss of life in Israel and Gaza. Extremism and vicious rhetoric breed instability. This year the U.S. rightly provided millions in humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people. Thanks to the bill before us, Congress is reaffirming our commitment to Israel's right to defend itself. Iron Dome technology keeps people safe, and it saves lives.
