a copy of my letter to sen cory booker
To the honorable Senator Cory Booker, I’m a citizen in your State of New Jersey, living in Lakewood’s predominantly Orthodox Jewish community. I came out in support of you the times you visited Lakewood, and I came away impressed by your genuineness and sincerity of wanting to do the right thing and not go with the flow of politics as usual in Washington. You spoke to our community and made us feel we were on the same page morally and politically. You were on target and articulate in your speeches to our community.
The question then begs to be asked of you, where is your morality and where is our representation in the senate when you vote against what common sense dictates and how most of your constituents feel.
I know you’re a democrat and there are issues one must vote with the party line but your vote cast in favor of the Iran deal just put the lives of 8.5 million people who live in Israel in harm’s way.
The USA was always there for Israel (at least until the current president took office). This vote is a new low in the relationship between the United States and Israel.
Below is your stand on Israel in words taken from your website.
The U.S.-Israel Relationship
“In an increasingly uncertain world, Israel continues to be an advocate for freedom, equality and democracy in the Middle East, protecting the rights of its citizens while upholding the values that Americans hold dear. From a strategic perspective, the United States must continue to support Israel as a secure homeland for the Jewish people.
“Simply put, where Israel’s security is at stake, America’s security is at stake.”We share strategic interests, face common threats and jointly aspire to achieve peace.
Ultimately, however, it is not only America’s strategic self-interest, but also our shared history, a set of common ideals and respect for democratic values that anchors our special relationship with the Jewish state. American support for Israel has been at the center of our Middle East policy for over six decades and must continue to be a central component of our foreign policy in the region. it is the right of the Israeli government to make the tough decisions that are necessary to secure its future.
During any eventual negotiation, certain things must remain non-negotiable, namely conditions that speak to Israel’s right to exist as a secure Jewish state.
It would seem that your vote for the Iran deal doesn’t add to the security needs of Israel, if anything can be said about Iran it’s their promise to obliterate and wipe Israel off the map of the earth and they can be trusted about that, and only that.
Having Iran police itself looking at their weapons of mass production facilities is having the proverbial FOX GUARDING THE HEN HOUSE.
For a smart man as yourself a Rhodes Scholar no less, I’m scratching my head in disbelief as to how you came to your decision.
Senator Booker, the vote is next week, and it’s not too late to reverse your decision and do what you know deep down is morally right for yourself for your constituents you represent, and for the state of Israel
