We in Congress stand by Israel. In Congress, we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In times of peace, just as today in our fight against terror, the United States and Israel stand together.
It's not only in Israel's interest but in America's as well to stand with one of its closest and important allies.
I think we need to stand with Israel.
My constituents support Israel.
The Knesset members - Jews and Arabs - don't represent the state of Israel. The government is the one that represents the state of Israel officially.
I'm absolutely convinced of that. Israel is the representative of the United States in that part of the world. Its policies are so integrated with American policies that they use the same language.
We want Israel as a democratic and Jewish state. So you have to maintain a Jewish majority, and you want to do that by legal means, by democratic means.
I don't know that there is one serious American representative that will advise Israel to sit with a terrorist government and negotiate with them.
I feel there's a lot of anti-Israel sentiment in the world and a lot of ignorance about what Israel is and does. But it's not for me to speak on Israel's behalf.
We have organized lobbyists in favor of Israel. You can't open your mouth. I can call the president of the United States anything in the book, but if you say one thing about Israel, and you're off limits.
