WASHINGTON, DC- On Tuesday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) and Heritage Foundation VP for Foreign Policy and National Defense Victoria Coates penned an op-edcalling on the Biden administration and Congress to support Israel.
Some key quotes are below:
-
"Biden still claims to 'stand with Israel.'But he doesn't want to stand with Israel too much because he risks losing the votes of those who support the Palestinians - including, apparently, his own wife. So now he's encouraging Israel to stand down instead of standing up to the Iranians."
-
"This UNSCR turns a blind eye to Hamas terrorism and opens the door to the group getting a ceasefire while keeping the hostages - and the United States let it pass."
-
"None of the UNSCRs in question have done anything material to either reduce violence or produce peace in the Middle East. But they have all contributed to the counter-productive impression among the Palestinians that violence against Israel is somehow legitimate."
-
"Given the Biden administration's reluctance to unequivocally support Israel's self-defense, it stands with Congress to do so - and just as failure on Israel policy has been bi-partisan, success can be so as well."
-
"Any future American administration that values the U.S.-Israel alliance should make it clear Israel isn't going away because America won't permit it to be destroyed."
