A legacy is not a policy, Menendez says on Obama backing nuke deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleReferring to Obama’s claim that his name being on the nuclear deal should be guarantee enough that it is solid, he says a legacy is not a policy.
“We hope and pray for peace, but we must always have Israel’s back,” he says, calling for efforts to counter those who delegitimatize Israel or deny the Holocaust.
He says the Holocaust was not the justification for Israel’s founding, but thousands of years of anti-Semitism is, drawing large applause.
“There can be no denying the Jewish people their legitimate right to live in peace and security in the homeland to which they have a connection over thousands of years.”
He vows to continue to support Israel and fight the nuclear deal.
