Top senator: An attack on Israel is an attack on U.S.

US Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI)

One of the most senior Democrats in Congress, while talking to a group of students in Jerusalem, made it clear to Iran: an attack on Israel would be responded to as an attack on the United States.

Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) isn’t just any Senator.  A World War II veteran and Medal of Honor winner, Inouye is the longest-serving member of the US Senate and the President Pro-Tempore of that house – third in line for the Presidency behind only the Vice President and Speaker of the House.  He is a respected voice in Washington and Chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee.

We’re grateful to Sen. Inouye for his staunch support of Israel.

    On reading these comments, it seems that everyone who reads your articles thinks alike. Preaching to the converted?
    Romney’s talk of preemptively attacking Iran will lead to a dangerous escalation.

    This is good to know!
    We need to send a stronger message to future politicians this election year, that supporting Israel is a deciding factor to gain our vote. http://www.rebirthofisrael.com Be involved!

      Inouye saw first hand what happened during his generation. He saw the brutality of the Nazis and has fought to bring the evil of Genocide to the forefront of the Geopolitical world. Never again should be in everyone hearts and minds for this world never changes it may suppress the evil but it never goes away entirely.

    God bless Israel,I believe that we are duty bound as christians by our belief in god’s words as written in the Holy Bible to stand along side our jewish brothers and sisters and help battle the great Satan that surrounds them.

    I’ll go one further, but along the same lines. The US government should do as Kennedy did: publicly announce that a nuclear attack on Israel is an attack on the US, getting a nuclear response.

    I lived in Hawaii on Oahu. He is truly a good man. A great Senator and leader. And you can see he knows where his loyalty should be, unlike Ron Paul another Texan nut case.

    Finally a Senator who will go on record and say what a “submissive” President won’t or doesn’t have the heart too.

    I agree with Senator Inouye, Israel is God’s chosen people and we need to stand with them. May God help us to be strong and courageous during these troubled times.

    Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU, Sen. May I suggest you switch parties, though. I don’t put much stock in what Dems say (I was one until a couple of years ago & I saw they had been hijacked by Marxists)

    I would like to also confer with senator Inouye that an attack on Israel (America’s greatest ally) is an attack on my LORD & SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST and on America.
