ITWASSOOTED: "Israel's struggle is our struggle."

Saturday, March 25, 2006

"Israel's struggle is our struggle."

Israel and the United States have a unique friendship based on our mutual commitment to democracy, freedom and peace.

And as the new House majority leader, I can assure you that under my leadership, legislation that is in any way perceived as anti-Israel will not be considered in the House of Representatives.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you very much.

I think it's important for all of you to understand what this commitment means.

BOEHNER: As Israel's friend, the United States recognizes the delicate nature of Israel's security situation and its state of political affairs. It is with this firm recognition that we offer a durable and unyielding alliance between our two great nations.
and your sons and daughter will continue to die in defense of isreali interests
