Israel needs American support

Shelley Berkley wrote a great article in the Sun condemning the United States for allowing (probably originating) the U.N.’s damaging resolution against Israel (“US goes AWOL in its support for Israel at UN,” Las Vegas Sun, Jan. 1). Israel continues to stand ready at all times to negotiate a two-state peace agreement with Palestine in spite of the fact that the little sovereignty they have is divided between Hamas and Fatah, both terrorist organizations committed to destroying Israel. The last time Israel ceded land to Palestine, the only thing Palestine did with it was lob explosives into Israel.

I respect that Berkley is Jewish. The Bible admonishes all Christians to stand beside Israel. Until President Barack Obama, we have always been its strongest ally. Some legacy, soon-to-be ex-President Obama ­— compromise America’s national security in the Middle East, strengthen Iran and stab Israel in the back.
