Vice President Mike Pences address to the Knesset Monday afternoon, the first by a senior American official in a decade, was praised by a number of Israeli officials from across the political spectrum, who noted the Vice Presidents pledge to bar Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and a time-table for the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, however, expressed a more personal reaction to the speech, saying that he had been so touched by it as to have been moved to tears.

God Bless VP Mike Pence.
Many God Bless Israel and God Bless the United States of America.

Yes indeed. Israel has always been high on my list of important issues, maybe partially because my grandfather’s family were Jews.

Good to hear these news items. It’s been a long time since we’ve actually sided with Israel.

VP Pence is to be applauded for sure. And he impressed me as a Good man. (And when he stops mentioning the long-discredited two state solution BS, I will celebrate with a big party steaks and ale for all! May it be soon. President Trump has to drain the swamp ( including the Snake Department nazis and islamonazis). Once he does this, a lot of problems will naturally disappear MAGA!!

No Jewish in my background, but Christians and Jews are forever connected. That bond becomes stronger the closer we come to our common destiny.
My grandson, by the way has Jewish blood from his father’s side of that family.
My nephews do too, for the same reason.

I’m still not totally sold on Pence, but I don’t want that to be seen as a putdown. First of all, here he does a great job addressing Israel’s leadership and people. Couldn’t ask for more on that count, and kudos to him for doing exactly what we should be doing.
My problem is, Trump is such a dynamic force, that even a good many after him may look rather lethargic in comparison.
We need another man just like him. I will say that from a V.P. position, it’s heard to show your own forceful nature up against contrasted with a guy like Trump. For this reason, I don’t take Pence to task.
I want to see more, and I may become more comfortable over time. I do think he is a good man.
Just call me very gun-shy after watching what Bush the elder did with Reagan policy after he took over.

True, Christian Judeo very important. I used to to, sometimes do occasionally, wear a Star of David necklace. My mother saw it one time, and my mother warned me not to wear it. Makes you wonder. My mother was a leftist Jew.

A special love for the Jewish people is or should be a characteristic mark of those who are born again, and it is not because they are specially lovable but because "they are beloved for the fathers' sakes." (Romans 11:28) And thus have endured despite the devil's lust to annihilate them, and thus God's
promise of the salvation of all the remnant . (And Israel is also the real victim in the Middle East.).
