David Friedman: Israel wants peace, suggesting otherwise is dangerous
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Ambassador to Israel David Friedman tells AIPAC attendees that it’s “dangerous” to suggest that Israel doesn’t want peace.
”Saying that you are pro-Israel and pro-peace is disingenuous,” he says, in an apparent reference to J Street, the left-wing US organization that describes itself as such.
“Using that phrase suggests Israel is not pro-peace. Saying pro-Israel and pro-peace is a redundancy. If you support Israel, you support peace and it is dangerous to suggest otherwise,” he says.
“Peace is a core Israeli value and a core American value.”
