Washington, D.C. – For the second time in as many months, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) plans to hold a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to condemn the latest anti-Semitic comments made by a member of her conference. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today released a statement urging House Democrats to show they are serious about bolstering America’s security and supporting our important ally Israel by passing Rubio’s Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act of 2019 (S. 1), which passed in an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 77 to 23 in the Senate on February 5, 2019.
“Yet again, the House will vote to disavow anti-Semitism in an attempt to reassure Americans and our ally Israel that the rising and disturbing public display of anti-Semitism from a few House Democrats is not indicative of the party as a whole,” Rubio said. “Rebuking the anti-Semitic ‘dual loyalty’ canard is important, but words alone are not enough anymore. If House Democrats are serious about reaffirming their support for Israel, they should pass the bipartisan Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act.”
The Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act would bolster the U.S.-Israel strategic alliance by authorizing security assistance to Israel over a 10-year period pursuant to the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding, reauthorize the United States-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2015, provide new authorities for sanctions against Syria’s Assad regime and its supporters, and empower state and local governments in the United States to counter the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement’s discriminatory economic warfare against the Jewish state.
Rubio also addressed the growing influence of anti-Semitism and pro-BDS voices on the Left in an op-ed in The New York Times. The piece addresses false claims made by anti-Israel activists regarding the pro-Israel Combating BDS Act, a bipartisan measure included in the Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act.
