Tens of thousands of Americans have signed our “Stand with Israel” petition. Mathew and Anita Staver, founders of Liberty Counsel, returned from Israel and had the opportunity to meet privately with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “I expressed the strong support of the American people for Israel,” said Mat Staver.
During that meeting, Mr. Netanyahu said that conflict over the right of Israel to exist is at its core a battle over values and Western civilization. President Obama has called for Israel to return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders, which would make Israel only nine miles wide and, thus, lead to the complete destruction of the Jewish people. Netanyahu said, “In America, you need to ask the question, WWAD, What Would America Do?” Indeed, what would we do if England or Spain asked us to return to our pre-1776 borders? Every Israeli leader we met this past week expressed the same sentiment.
Already, preparations are being made for a second flotilla attempt on Gaza. The first time brought significant outcry against Israel, event though videos of the interaction clearly showed Israel reacting in self-defense, as their boat was boarded and they were beaten by the demonstrators. Israel, just as America, must have the ability to defend itself, or it will be destroyed by those committed to its annihilation.
Liberty Counsel condemns the Obama Administration’s current policy toward Israel. It must be thoroughly reexamined and then changed appropriately. In September, the United Nations is slated to vote on whether to recognize a Palestinian state. If they do, they will be sanctioning Israel's sworn enemy who, for a generation, has refused to even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a nation. “Now more than ever, Israel needs America and America needs Israel,” concluded Mat Staver.
