(National Review) David French - America's long support for Israel represents an enduring, bipartisan commitment to moral clarity in the Middle East. Even today, Israelis live under a terror-threat level experienced by few other nations, and it exists in the midst of a region full of people who express feelings of outright hatred for its right to exist. Generations of American politicians - from both parties - have seen these realities and have made the moral decision to support an embattled minority in the face of an avalanche of outright hate. It is to our nation's enduring credit that we've stood against that hate since Israel's founding. A hostile Arab world has far more money and resources than the small Jewish state that it all too often seeks to eradicate. If cash is truly king, we would have thrown Israel under the bus in generations past. It is to our country's credit that we've chosen morality over money since 1948.
