GOP Senators Plan Resolution Promising Support Should Israel Strike Iran

August 28, 2012

TAMPA, Fla. (JTA) -- Republican senators plan to introduce a non-binding resolution pledging military, economic and diplomatic backing for Israel should it strike Iran.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told JTA on Tuesday that he and Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) were drafting the resolution for introduction next month in the Senate.

Graham, attending the Republican National Convention in Tampa this week, said he was seeking Democratic co-sponsors.

for u Israel. No matter what you decide, we got your back.

I think it's way past time for the US to set Israel free. You want war? Go for it. We're tired of it.

I think before the US gov't gives any more support to Israel all members of AIPAC should be taxed to pay for it and forced to send their children to fight there. I am so sick of warmongers...of all stripes.

The Repukes don't want to support programs that help the weakest Americans, but they want to support Israel if it starts a war with Iraq?

Let Israel take care of itself...
