Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a powerful statement this weekend by visiting Israel right after the UN’s outrageous vote supporting a Palestinian state. The brave Secretary stood shoulder to shoulder with our greatest ally in the Middle East. This visit shows America still has leaders who understand what real friendship means.
Rubio started his trip the right way by praying at the Western Wall. This sacred site represents thousands of years of Jewish history that no UN vote can erase. Real Americans know Israel belongs to the Jewish people, not terrorists.
Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Rubio as an extraordinary friend during their meeting. The Israeli leader said their alliance is as strong as the ancient stones of the Western Wall. This is what real leadership looks like when America stands with our friends.
The UN General Assembly’s vote for a Palestinian state is a slap in the face to democracy and freedom. These same countries that support terrorists now want to reward them with statehood. It’s disgusting that America’s tax dollars help fund this anti-Israel circus.
Smart Israeli leaders are now calling for their government to claim full sovereignty over biblical Judea and Samaria. Why should Israel give up land that God gave them to people who celebrate terrorism? It’s time to stop pretending that giving terrorists more land will bring peace.
Even after Israel rightfully struck Hamas leaders hiding in Qatar, Netanyahu made clear the US-Israel relationship remains rock solid. Israel has every right to defend itself against terrorist murderers. Any real American leader would do the same thing.
The liberal media will attack Rubio for this visit because they hate seeing America support our true allies. They’d rather we bow down to terrorist groups and their UN supporters. Thank God we have leaders like Rubio who put America and freedom first.
This visit proves that despite all the pressure from international bullies, America will never abandon Israel. We stand with the only democracy in the Middle East against terrorist thugs and their enablers. That’s what makes America great.
