Israel, Our Greatest Ally in the Middle East
(Miami Herald) Lieutenant Governor of Florida Jeanette Nunez - Recently, I had the privilege of visiting Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, alongside five other lieutenant governors from across the county. Israel is a vibrant country where faith is palpable and warmth is exuded at every turn. Pride is clearly in the Israeli's DNA. They do not apologize for their zeal. They promote it. They do not reflect on their trials and lament; they perceive the triumph through their battles. They do not wallow in defeat; they learn and surge in victory. America's unbreakable bond with Israel is essential if we are to see peace in the region and beyond. We must encourage leaders at every level to closely reevaluate policies, such as the disastrous Iran deal. We must not allow BDS and anti-Semitism in any form to gain a foothold. We must never forget the horrors of the Holocaust. This visit has been an encounter like none other - an encounter with beauty, light, and resilience. Israel, though small geographically, is a country with an enormous impact.
