The Trump administration continues to support the Jewish community and Israel. I pray that after the election, we can say that the Jewish Community supported President Trump. His latest achievements:
1) The State Department has finally recognized the fact that American Jews born in Jerusalem can now put on their passports, Jerusalem, Israel. It was a right long denied, in fact, since the creation of the State in 1949, and affirms once again that Jerusalem is the invincible Capital of the State of Israel and, and to the whole world, that it is an inseparable part of the State of Israel. Thank you, Mr. President. A promise made and a promise kept
2) Extended various Scientific agreements for joint Israel-American projects that were previously limited to areas within the so-called Green line, to all of Israel. The new Agreements were signed at Ariel University. A 15,000 student University within Yehuda and Shomron, that was previously excluded from joint Israel- American research projects. Thank you, Mr. President.
Contrast this with Joe Biden, who when Vice President, (a) constantly created tension with Israel over the construction of even an extension to a house in areas of Jerusalem. (b) openly declares that he will reopen the PA offices that were closed by President Trump. (c) resume financial assistance to the PA that permits them to continue their 'pay for slay' payments to so-called martyrs and their families that President Trump stopped, and who declares that one day one, he will lift the ban on Muslim migration from terrorist Muslim countries, that the President has in place. It is a scary scenario, just look at what is happening in France, and to the Jewish communities in Germany and Sweden.
Trump is bringing Peace to Israel and many many Arab countries are beginning to want peace given the new realities in the Middle East. What does Biden want, an International Peace Conference? Where will that go? Been there done that.
Under Biden/Obama, the US not only pressured Israel constantly, but also gave Iran a treaty that would have given Iran the legitimate right to build a nuclear bomb by 2025, just 4 short years, plus they gave billions of dollars that it used to fund terrorism across the Middle East. President Trump stopped it and instead put in place economic sanctions that have crippled her economy, preventing a nuclear threat, what is Biden's solution, negotiate once again with a regime that has never kept its word. Friends, we must come together.
The dangers of a Biden Presidency are clear and present. The pressures from the radical Dems are a growing threat to Israel and all of us who hold it dear. Is it a risk worth taking?
Many in the Jewish community say they are not one-issue voters, that while Israel is important, there are other issues, like character, his bellicose personality, threats to Democracy, his response to the Covid-19 pandemic. I submit that Policy, in this case, is more important than personality, and his policies have been proven successful. Regarding democracy, it is the left that suppresses free speech, look at the handling of the Biden expose, the rioting in our Democratic-led cities, that were never denounced by Biden till it became politically inconvenient to ignore them. The President has decried white supremacy, neo-fascists, and their ilk, over 38 times, yet the left-wing press ignores him and asks the same question creating the illusion among voters that he is a racist when he has denounced it on countless occasions, but the press does not want to run the videotape, including Charlottesville. It was an anti-Trumper white nationalist that caused the shooting in Pittsburgh, yet the media wrote the story in such a way, that it was Trump who encouraged it. What nonsense. Long before he was running for President Donald Trump was the Marshall of the New York Salute to Israel parade. His support of Jewish causes before he was President should say it all.
The President faced the Covid crises, in January when it was first beginning. He closed the country to China and was called Xenophobic by Biden and Pelosi. They thought nothing of the virus while conducting a sham impeachment trial. President Trump was the first to call for an all-out war against the China virus. He brought together government and private industry to produce the necessary equipment, PPE. that we didn't have, authorized a total mobilization of pharmaceutical companies to produce a vaccine, named Project Warp Speed, which is producing results in a never before seen time frame and appointed Vice President Pence and the CDC to coordinate a national response. He ordered Hospital ships where needed and had the Army set up field hospitals. There is nothing that Biden has said that is new, except lock down the economy, and penalize people with fines if they don't wear face masks. As President, you have to balance science with the economy and other factors. How many people will suffer from a complete lockdown? How will the Country recover, the cost of health and security? I believe the President has done an excellent job of threading the needle. As he has said repeatedly even one death is two many, but to blame the President for the deaths?
It is fake media and politics, not truth or fairness. I urge you to vote and send this e-mail to your relatives, friends, and associates, the Truth must prevail. I don't want to frighten anyone, but it is scary to think what could happen if the radical left takes control of this country. G-d Bless and Vote
