CC: Kamala Harris
Today, we are reminded that 'don't' as a foreign policy strategy from the United States will NEVER deter evil terrorists.
One year ago, Hamas terrorists struck Israel, resulting in the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Over 1,200 innocent lives were brutally taken, including 40 Americans. The barbaric attacks on women, children, and thousands of innocent Israelis will be images seared in our memory forever, and we will never forget the devastation and loss they caused.
As we reflect on the attacks that day and the continuation of this war that is still being fought today, it’s never been clearer that in November, we must ensure we elect a leader to the White House who delivers PEACE through STRENGTH. Under President Trump’s leadership, we had historic peace in the Middle East- under Kamala & Co., we have unprecedented wars through weakness.
What they are saying:
VP Nominee, U.S. Senator JD Vance:Our prayers are with our allies in Israel this morning as we remember the American and Israeli citizens who were slaughtered last October 7th. President Trump will end Kamala Harris's weak policies that embolden our enemies and undercut Israel's ability to defend itself.
Speaker Mike Johnson: The terror and antisemitism we’ve witnessed have demanded full resolve from America’s leaders, which is why Congress passed legislation in the spring to provide Israel with necessary military aid and support. Today, at this critical time, following a second direct attack by Iran and ongoing terror from Hezbollah, Americans must insist that the Biden-Harris Administration stand unequivocally with Israel and against the terrorist regime in Iran, as we continue to pray for peace and security in Israel.
U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts: The Biden-Harris administration’s failure to follow through on their promise of “ironclad” support for Israel is more of the same failed, appeasement-first foreign policy. Israel is our ally. They deserve our unconditional support. Hamas must surrender or be destroyed.
U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn: As the Biden-Harris administration sits idly by, innocent Americans and Israelis remain hostages of Hamas. The United States must provide Israel with every available resource to defend itself with overwhelming force against terrorists who will not stop until they are eliminated.
U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D.: Under Donald Trump, Iran was nearly bankrupt and on the run.
U.S. Senator Joni Ernst:President Trump’s Abraham Accords brought peace in the Middle East through American leadership!
U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito: Over the last 4 years, the Biden-Harris administration has demonstrated weak leadership on the world stage. We must get back to “peace through strength” and get serious about our national security and supporting our allies.
Congresswoman Erin Houchin:Today we remember the brutal attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, which has led to ongoing conflict, loss of innocent lives, and increased tensions in the region. Under the Trump Administration, we saw real efforts to cut off funding to terrorists, but the Biden-Harris Administration has reversed that progress. They’ve handed Iran billions, slow-walked critical arms to Israel, and failed to stand strong with our ally. Even worse, we’re seeing a rise in anti-Semitism right here at home. We must stand firmly with our greatest ally in the Middle East as they continue their fight to protect their sovereign land.
Congressman Cory Mills: October 7th marks the one year anniversary of the brutal attack on Israel by Hamas militants…The Biden-Harris administration’s repeated failures have only emboldened Iran, the leading sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East.
Congressman Wesley Hunt: The Biden-Harris Administration’s policy of appeasement towards state sponsors of terror and attempts to prevent Israel from defending itself have only further undermined the safety and security of Israel and the Jewish people. On this anniversary of October 7th, we pray for peace, safety, and strength for Israel and for all those affected by the barbaric actions of Hamas.
Congresswoman Anna Luna: Today, we remember the horrific attack on Israel one year ago. This tragedy highlights the consequences of weak leadership in the White House, which has emboldened terrorists and resulted in FOUR Americans still being held hostage by Hamas.
Congressman Mike Turner: This really is a failure of the Biden Administration policies. The Biden Administration has continued to argue restraint. That really is an argument for the status quo, and Israel can’t sustain this status quo after October 7th and the unbelievable atrocities that occurred with Hamas entering into Israel.
Congressman Pat Fallon:The Biden-Harris Admin's failed foreign policy has put lives at stake. Our adversaries are taking advantage of their weak leadership, causing mayhem around the world. Trump's peace-through-strength posture made the world more safe and secure.
Congressman Michael Waltz: If we want to be serious about regional stability and our own national security, we MUST return to President Trump’s policy of maximum pressure on Iran to cripple their war machine…Today and always, I stand with Israel.
