Earlier this year, liberal, antisemitic activists took universities hostage protesting against Israel and Jewish communities.
Let me be clear: These protestors are terrorist sympathizers who serve as “useful idiots” for Hamas. I believe we should fight for freedom – not hatred.
That’s why this week, I voted to condemn antisemitism in all its forms – and for the United States to stand unwaveringly with Israel. Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve led the charge to stand up and fight for Israel by:
- Holding Iran accountable by leading a bipartisan bill to freeze Iranian assets that would be used by Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis to finance acts of terrorism
- Supporting the people of Israel by backing full funding for defense mechanisms, like the Iron Dome and David’s Sling
- Standing in solidarity with Israel by showing full support following the unprovoked and horrific attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023
- Keeping Iowans safe by ensuring the safe turn of those trapped in Israel even when the State Department wouldn’t do what was needed to bring home our fellow Americans
- Strengthening the U.S.-Israel strategic partnership by passing legislation to coordinate defense technology production and implementation
Bottom Line: The U.S. must continue to be unwavering in our commitment to Israel and stand righteously against the Iranian regime of terror. We cannot abandon our strongest ally in the Middle East.
