Rep. Burton: “Israel is a shining beacon of liberty and democracy in the Middle East”
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN-05) issued the following statement in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's, address to a joint session of Congress.
“I sincerely hope President Obama was watching Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech from London because this speech was a powerful reminder that Israel is not the problem in the Middle East. Israel is a shining beacon of liberty and democracy in the Middle East. Israel is a model of the kind of free and prosperous society that individuals across the Arab world are fighting and dying to create. Rather than bow to terrorists and despots the United States should stand shoulder to shoulder with our one true ally and friend Israel. That means, supporting Israel's right to self-defense; opposing any effort to return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders; and opposing any effort to transform Jerusalem into a divided city."
