CAPITOL HILL PRO-ISRAEL MISSION is insane.” Turning to President Trump’s efforts to produce an Arab/Israeli peace, he said, “Israel gave away land to try to get peace, and the land was used as a staging ground to attack Israel.” Sen. Sherrod Brown Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said: “I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, ‘I know you’re happy with the new president and standing up for Israel. I grew up in a Lutheran family in which my faith is important to me. I am familiar with the Jewish faith’s fight for social justice.” Rep. Ron DeSantis Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL): “Fifty years ago, we saw an improbable victory, in a war that could have ended Israel’s existence…. We hear all about not upsetting the peace process, delaying the embassy move. Well, if you want to improve their Palestinian Arabs’ behavior, moving the embassy is the best thing you can do…. We can’t keep paying the Palestinian Authority when they give money to terrorists. Israel is what’s right about the Middle East…. I appreciate you guys here at ZOA because you have moral clarity about the issues that Israel is facing…. We have to finally designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.” Rep. Claudia Tenney Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said: “I spent six years in the New York State Assembly. That’s where I was introduced to Jewish issues…. My son attended the Jewish Community Center in Utica, NY… which wanted to reach out to help the Bosnian Muslims and bring them to Utica for safe haven. It made me realize how strong the Jewish faith is and how far Jews are willing to go to help…. We support your initiatives and Israel. I’m looking forward to legislation that will assist you, so please reach out to me.” Rep. Mark Meadows Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), chairman of the Freedom Caucus: “One of the reasons that I’m 8 in Congress is not just to grill members of the Department of Justice to enforce the Koby Mandell Act that ZOA introduced and got passed, not just to see if people in government are doing their jobs. When my wife and I came here, we asked ourselves, ‘What can I do for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel today?’ It’s in my heart, and it’s my passion…. I was in the Egyptian embassy about four or five years ago when President Morsi from the Muslim Brotherhood was in power, speaking about what we can do about the Israeli-Egyptian relationship. There were six members of the Muslim Brotherhood there. I shared very firmly that unless they got their attitude right about Israel, there would be no money coming from the U.S. If we can’t make them see the light, we can at least make them feel the heat.” “We can’t keep paying the Palestinian Authority when they give money to terrorists.… I appreciate you guys here at ZOA because you have moral clarity about the issues that Israel is facing.” —Rep.
