Pence: Israel hated by terrorists, progressives for what it does right

Addressing the pro-Donald Trump rally in Jerusalem via recorded video, running mate Mike Pence calls the city “the eternal undivided capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish state.”

“Donald Trump and I stand with Israel because Israel’s fight is our fight, because Israel’s cause is our cause,” he says. “Israel is our most cherished ally.”

He says he and Trump “understand that Israel is not hated by her enemies for what she does wrong but rather for what she does right.”

“Like the US, Israel is hated by terrorists and the failed states that support them. She is hated by too many progressives, because she is successful and her people are free,” he adds, saying the IDF fights with “decency, humanity and restraint.”

“As Israel takes the curses, the slanders and lies of the world and turns them into blessings, the real question is how can any good person not stand with Israel,” he says.
