American Congressman Wexler Speaks Up For Israel

My heartfelt thanks to our Congressman Robert Wexler, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe, and Congressman Elton Gallegly, Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Europe, for sending a letter to Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt to"repudiate the anti-Semitic newspaper article in Aftonbladet".

Israel has a real friend in Congressman Wexler -- in many United States senators and House representatives, in fact. From what I've been reading, support for Israel is growing again nationwide, coming back around to where it normally is. The Islamists aren't as smart or as powerful as they believe themselves to be, and are we surprised? It wasn't Israeli's who killed 3000+ innocent office workers on that bitter September morning not so long ago. We never forget in America. Never.

No matter who is in the oval office, Israel will always have important friends in the United States. It's bi-partisan and it's forever.

As for the general public, many are ill-informed, hence this blog (not to imply that many read it, yet, and I'm an admitted amateur (and a bit too opinionated, I suppose), but I would like to think it gets a read now and then. America, it is said, loves "the Underdog." The problem is, sometimes the public doesn't quite grasp the concept, and just sides with a dirty dog or two. In time, though, it tires of the whining, and notices the truth. That time, in a widespread sense, is nearer than some think.

The American media drives opinion, and Palestinian sob-stories make for good press, but thanks to the Internet, the truth is out there for anyone willing to spend a little time searching for it. I would recommend that more Israeli sites provide captioning in English. Beautiful though it is, Hebrew is a radical departure from English, making it difficult to get much information that hasn't been pre-sifted for an American or European audience, not by Israel, but by the respective governments and media agencies. You see my point. Back to my point: Thanks, again, Congressman Wexler and Gallegly.

To readers, as always,
Thank You and Shalom!
