Congressional Support for Israel

God's Word says regarding the nation of Israel, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse." I don't see how He could make it any clearer than that.

For years America has been mightily blessed because of its support for the Jewish state. Yet, today, we are being led by an anti-Zionist who has surrounded himself with a whole load of Israel-haters. As a strong supporter of Israel, I find President Obama's antagonistic attitude toward Israel disturbing.

Yet, there is some good news to report. Our much maligned Congress does not share the president's anti-Israel views. I pray that when God looks down at America, He considers that we are not all in the anti-Israel camp and does not withhold His blessings from us.

Read from the Patriot Room:

US House votes 344-36 to condemn Goldstone Report as biased

"The US House acted decisively to support Israel. It also called out the UN as biased. Pretty strong language, and the overwhelming majority sends a rather direct message to Obama and his anti-Israel advisers.

In addition to the 36 voting "no," 22 voted "present." Here's the roll call - spot the anti-Semites.

The full text of the resolution is here. It culminates as follows:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

(1) considers the `Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict' to be irredeemably biased and unworthy of further consideration or legitimacy;

(2) supports the Administration's efforts to combat anti-Israel bias at the United Nations, its characterization of the `Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict' as `unbalanced, one-sided and basically unacceptable', and its opposition to the resolution on the report;

(3) calls on the President and the Secretary of State to continue to strongly and unequivocally oppose any endorsement of the `Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict' in multilateral fora, including through leading opposition to any United Nations General Assembly resolution and through vetoing, if necessary, any United Nations Security Council resolution that endorses the contents of this report, seeks to act upon the recommendations contained in this report, or calls on any other international body to take further action regarding this report;

(4) calls on the President and the Secretary of State to strongly and unequivocally oppose any further consideration of the `Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict' and any other measures stemming from this report in multilateral fora; and

(5) reaffirms its support for the democratic, Jewish State of Israel, for Israel's security and right to self-defense, and, specifically, for Israel's right to defend its citizens from violent militant groups and their state sponsors."


Yes! It's not often that I find the opportunity to praise Congress for its actions. My, it feels good to finally do so.
