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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
