President Harry Truman, the first leader to recognize Israel, said this:
"I have faith in Israel and I believe that it has a glorious future - not just as another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization."..................
"The connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel cannot be denied. The connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem cannot be denied. The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 year ago and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It is our capital."

Great speech. I am embarrassed at the way this administration is treating our friends. If the truth were ever told, I would bet the Israeli's are doing more to keep America safe than Obama.
ReplyDeleteIsrael and Great Britain are the best friends America has. Maybe the ONLY friends. We can't afford to lose them.
