Congressman Barletts - Standing with Israel

Congressman Lou Barletta in his May 25th e-mail message wrote:

I’m proud to stand with Israel in their struggle for democracy, freedom, and security."

Congressman Barletta quotes Prime Minister Netanyahu,

“Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism.”

Congressman Barletta wrote he was "upset to hear President Obama advocating for a smaller Israel" in his speech at the State Department. "Israelis deserve security... Israel has an absolute right to exist."
