"In a 2009 debate against primary opponent Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Perry plainly stated that his faith required him to support Israel. This latter statement was bolstered by his trip to the Holy Land where he accepted the Defender of Jerusalem Award before breaking bread with then-President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He put his medal where his mouth is on June 28, 2011, when he wrote Attorney General Eric Holder encouraging him to prosecute Americans who would participate in the "unacceptable provocation" of a Gaza Flotilla against Israel."

I didn't know about the Defender of Jerusalem Award. That's impressive.

I'd be more impressed if he was a defender of the Rio Grande.
