Political Quotes

“Today we have had yet another heated debate in the people's House in the greatest, freest Nation in the world. The United States of America is a beacon of freedom. In my 10-year tenure in Congress, I have spoken with world leaders in Israel, in the Middle East, in Europe, across the globe. The world looks to the United States for leadership and for freedom. Our great ally in the Middle East, Israel, has been threatened. Its citizens have been threatened since its inception, and that is wrong. I associate myself partially with the remarks of the majority leader when he said we need to pass this bill today; and we do. We need to give Israel and the Israeli people the capability to continue to defend themselves against what are terrorist attacks on its people. Over 4,000 rockets directed by terrorists, supported by countries such as Iran and others, who wish to seek destruction of Israel. As Americans, we can never allow that to happen. As human beings, we can never allow that to happen. And we need to be heard, that beacon of freedom in the United States of America, all over the world in our defense of Israel because other countries have let them down. Today, we will not let Israel down. We will pass this bill. And to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who once had a great Democratic Party, like the great Republican Party in our great two- party system, stand up, stand up and fight anti-Semitism wherever its ugly head is raised.…”
