"The United States will stand with Israel now and forever. Now and forever."

Delivers Speech to American Israel Public Affairs Committee; Text of Remarks
To: National Desk, Political Reporter
Contact: Brendan Daly or Jennifer Crider, both of Office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, 202-226-7616; Web: [url]http://democraticleader.house.gov[/url]
WASHINGTON, May 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi addressed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee at their 2005 Policy Conference last night. Pelosi discussed the relationship between the United States and Israel and the continued effort for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Below are her remarks:
"Thank you, Amy Friedkin, my dear friend for so many years. Californians, North and South, are proud of your great leadership at AIPAC. And to Bernice Manocherian, President of AIPAC, thank you. All who care about peace in the Middle East are grateful for your strength and wisdom in guiding AIPAC. As a native of Baltimore, I take special pride of your incoming President, Howard Friedman, who will continue in the tradition of outstanding leadership at AIPAC.
"I also want to acknowledge all of the students who are here. It is great to see so many young people taking such an interest in public affairs, especially on one of the critical issues of our time: peace in the Middle East.
"This spring, I was in Israel as part of a congressional trip that also took us to Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. One of the most powerful experiences was taking a helicopter toward Gaza, over the path of the security fence. We set down in a field that belonged to a local kibbutz. It was a cool but sunny day, and the field was starting to bloom with mustard. Mustard is a crop that grows in California, and it felt at that moment as if I were home.
"And then we were told that the reason we had to land in that field, as opposed to our actual destination, was because there had been an infiltration that morning, and they weren't sure how secure the area was. And that point alone brought us back to the daily reality of Israel: even moments of peace and beauty are haunted by the specter of violence.
"While in Israel, we met with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Vice Premier Shimon Perez. From them and from other leaders, we heard something I had not heard in a long time: cautious optimism. This was an attitude quite different from the one that confronted us when I spoke to AIPAC two years ago.
"One thing, however is unchanged: America's commitment to the safety and security of the State of Israel is unwavering. America and Israel share an unbreakable bond: in peace and war; and in prosperity and in hardship.
"Prime Minister Sharon's leadership of Israel at this crucial time has been remarkable. He has brought Israel through an extremely challenging period, and now he has made the difficult decision that it is in Israel's national security interest to disengage from Gaza.
"In the next few months, Israeli settlers will be evacuated entirely from Gaza and from four settlements in the northern West Bank. This courageous decision is gut-wrenching for Israel.
"Israel's decision can be a decisive milestone on the road to peace. If the Palestinians agree to coordinate with Israel on the evacuation, establish the rule of law, and demonstrate a capacity to govern, the world may be convinced that finally there is a real partner for peace.
"Any progress on the Roadmap for Peace must be based on real change on the ground, as evidenced by the establishment of an accountable, and reconstituted Palestinian security force that prevents terrorism, not promotes it.
"Fortunately, Palestinian Authority President Abbas is no Yasir Arafat. He has condemned terrorism in Arabic, stating that it prolongs the day that the Palestinian goal of statehood can be achieved, and, at least as significant, stating that terrorism is immoral. He has begun to restructure the security services. All that is commendable.
"But he has not removed Arafat's corrupt cronies from positions of power, nor has he moved to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure. That is, I am sorry to say, cause for concern. President Abbas has said his goal is to establish the rule of law, but he has done nowhere near enough to realize that vision, and now he is confronted with a huge challenge: by the end of summer, Israel will be out of Gaza.
"Can Gaza become a pilot case for self-government for a Palestinian state? Or will it become a terrorist haven, a launching pad for rockets into Israel?
"President Abbas must act, for his own good, against those he must know are his enemies and are the enemies of the aspirations of the Palestinian people.
"The United States, just as Israel, wants to see him succeed. That is why I was so pleased when [EL] President[e] Bush dispatched Jim Wolfensohn to help with the Gaza withdrawal. It is why I supported additional aid to the Palestinians in the Emergency Supplemental bill that recently passed Congress.
"There are those who contend that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. This is absolute nonsense. In truth, the history of the conflict is not over occupation, and never has been: it is over the fundamental right of Israel to exist.
"The greatest threat to Israel's right to exist, with the prospect of devastating violence, now comes from Iran. For too long, leaders of both political parties in the United States have not done nearly enough to confront the Russians and the Chinese, who have supplied Iran as it has plowed ahead with its nuclear and missile technology.
"Proliferation represents a clear threat to Israel and to America. It must be confronted by an international coalition against proliferation, with a commitment and a coalition every bit as strong as our commitment to the war against terror.
"The people of Israel long for peace and are willing to make the sacrifices to achieve it. We hope that peace and security come soon - and that this moment of opportunity is not lost. As Israel continues to take risks for peace, she will have no friend more steadfast that the United States.
"In the words of Isaiah, we will make ourselves to Israel 'as hiding places from the winds and shelters from the tempests; as rivers of water in dry places; as shadows of a great rock in a weary land.'
"The United States will stand with Israel now and forever. Now and forever."

Too bad they didn't quote those words of prophet Isaiah that Jesus Christ Himself quoted when He drove Jewish moneychangers out of the temple of Jerusalem:
[COLOR=Red]21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
21:13 And said unto them, [U]It is written[/U], [I]My house shall be called the house of prayer[/I]; but ye have made it a den of thieves. [/COLOR]

Pelosi: "The United States will stand with Israel now and forever. Now and forever."
I like the fact that she feels the need to mention the "now and forever" part twice. Maybe if she repeats it a third or fourth time, it will come true? :lol:
These Jew-loving sycophants are as amusing as they are pathetic.

I prefer the stas quo or peaceful measures before war in the Holy Land. Can you imagine the destruction ? The Prophesy and Armageddon ? If the Jews build a Third Temple, or seek to take the Dome of The Rock, War will Indeed occur on a massive scale. But we have to live for today. Just let the sorry-sack Jews stay in their otherwise worthless real-estate. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre ( said to be built above the Tomb of Christ ) they do not interfere with. Yes they are incorrigible in their fake, Jews-only " democracy ", but the Palestinians haven't been helping themselves either. As long as the rabble Muslims continue with the One-State ( no Israel, no Jews in Palestine ) approach ( which Iran still officially endorses ), there cannot be peace. I agree with the US and Israeli policies of a Two-State Holy Land. I strongly oppose giving military aid to Israel, and financial aid of any kind, however. Truthfully, we must admit that the Palestianians need to " grow up " and learn to spend their money ( leaders ) wisely and build a civilization in their territories which is capable of moving forward without senseless Jihad and Infitadas.. the thugs of Hezbollah, Hamas.. they are their own worst enemy. They should stop their insane ambitions of taking back all of the Holy Land. It's just NOT WORTH the bloodshed. We're talking about nothing more than real-estate here. These people need to demonstrate an ability to better themselves and their lands. I disagree with Pelosi, she's just a shabbos goy, but some of her points cannot be refuted. I am saying this from the standpoint of that region, not the overall and permeating ill-effect of Jews in other host countries such as ours.

[QUOTE=Exelsis_Deo]...or seek to take the Dome of The Rock[/QUOTE]
Something that I didn't know, but found out while I was living in Saudi, is that the Dome of the Rock is not the revered mosque. Al Aqsa is the revered mosque.

The Israelis are undermining it and letting the walls under it crumble so that it will eventually fall. Once that happens, that will clear the way for the rebuilding of their temple. The dome of the rock is a distraction that the Israelis use to steer attention away from the real issue.

true it is not the mosque, but Muslims believe the Dome is the exact spot where Muhammed ascended to Heaven. Therefore it's significance is even greater.

The transformation from a military that defends US interest to a military that does what's in Israel's interest will be complete when Israel or the US bombs Iran. Once the transformation is complete our military will be reborn as the ZPA.
