Scott with Teaneck resident Joshua Meier, a finalist in the 2014 Intel Science Talent Search, in my Washington, D.C. office. We discussed the project that earned him this prestigious recognition and his plans for life after high school. Joshua is an impressive young man and I wish him all the best at tonight’s award ceremony.

Ridgewood NJ, The Crisis in U.S.-Israel Relations Is Officially Here .

“Obama Official Calling Netanyahu ‘A Chickens**t’

It’s probably safe to say that U.S.-Israel relations aren’t exactly at a high point. In an article published Tuesday at The Atlantic by Jeffrey Goldberg, the Obama administration’s preferred conduit for all things Israel-related, an unnamed senior Obama administration official called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a chicken-bleep.” “The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chicken-bleep,” the official told Goldberg. “The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars,” he continued. ““The bad thing about him is that he won’t do anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians or with the Sunni Arab states. The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat.” https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/10/the-crisis-in-us-israel-relations-is-officially-here/382031/

Just one more misstep in a long line of anti Israel ,anti Jewish gaffs by the Obama Administration .Meanwhile its important to remember that Congressman Garrett supports the right of Israel to exist as a sovereign, democratic nation and defend itself against attacks from neighboring territories.  While Congressman Garrett supports efforts to have peace between Israel and the Palestinians, he does not believe Israel should jeopardize its security by creating borders that could potentially leave it vulnerable to attack by neighbors.

The Congressman supports strong ties with Israel, and is a strong supporter of ensuring that Israel has the full support of the United States. In the 113th Congress, Congressman Garrett introduced the Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act of 2013. This important legislation would require that the United States Embassy in Israel move from its current location in Tel Aviv to Israel’s legal capital, Jerusalem. Congressman Garrett acknowledges the vital role that US support plays in promoting Israel’s safety and security.  Not only does US aid to Israel help promote a more stable Middle East, but also approximately 75 percent of the aid delivered to Israel returns to the United States in the form of military supply purchases.
Congressman Garrett co-sponsored H. Res. 657, a resolution that reaffirms the United States’ support for Israel’s right to defend its citizens and ensure the survival of the State of Israel, condemns the unprovoked rocket fire at Israel, and calls on Hamas to immediately cease all rocket and other attacks against Israel. In July Garrett told the Save New Jersey blog , “As Israel defends itself against countless rocket attacks from Hamas, it shouldn’t also have to defend itself against those in the White House,”
Garrett declared in a statement released Thursday. “While the Obama administration says it supports Israel, these comments obviously stand in stark contrast to that commitment and must be retracted. My heart goes out to those who have been the victims of these attacks. I wholeheartedly support our greatest friend and ally in the Middle East as they seek to eliminate those who are perpetrating this violence.” https://savejersey.com/2014/07/garrett-israel-battling-hamas-and-white-house/
Garrett’s words to the NJJN on October 10 2012 summed the present situation best , “I think the Obama administration has been an absolute disaster from Day One in its handling of foreign affairs and Israel specifically,” said Garrett in an Oct. 4 phone interview. “When Obama came into office, he promised that the United States would be more respected because of his style of handling the world community. I think we are less respected, and we find ourselves in a more vulnerable position than we were four years ago.” https://njjewishnews.com/article/14719/jewish-issues-debated-in-redrawn-fifth-district#.VFFIZ_TF_fE

Last Weekend Garrett honored to receive the endorsement of NORPAC, which is at the forefront of promoting strong US-Israel relations!

  1. To be honest, I’m never impressed anymore with congressmen who introduce move-the-embassy bills. The Democrats do every two years when a Republican is president, and the Republicans do it every two years when a Democrat is president. It’s a costless way of showing how much you support Israel when you know you have zero chance of being forced to actually follow through with it.

    Why didn’t Garrett introduce the bill between 2003-2008? That’s what I want to know.

  2. When it comes to Israel most if not all politicians have no backbone.

  3. Exactly, #1. Empty pandering to the Jewish constituency. It’s funny how these “oh noes, teh deficits!!!” people have no problem pouring money into Israel.

    1. perhaps reading the article will enlighten you ??
