Opinion: On Israel, Charles Schumer rises to the occasion, JRubinBlogger writes
Vice President Pence during his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee gathering in Washington on Monday. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 26 at 10:15 AM At the American Israel Public Affairs Committee annual gathering, members of both parties attend to show their support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.
He talked about his Jewish family, the importance of educating youth about the threats Israel faces and then he got to the heart of the speech. “My friends, to do all of this we must keep the U.S.-Israel relationship bipartisan. Yes, bipartisan. Both parties, side by side," he said. “We can only hope to defend Israel from these threats so long as we maintain a united front, Democrats and Republicans together. This has been a mission for me.
When we see or hear anti-Semitism, we have a solemn obligation not to hold our tongues or parse our language, but to call it out with courage, with clarity. When someone looks at a neo-Nazi rally and sees “some very fine people” among its company, we must call it out;We are here because we support the only Jewish state in the world — and because it is in America’s interest to support Israel.
You can be, all at once my friends, completely Jewish, completely pro-Israel, and completely American! And we are!
