Washington, DC - Tens of thousands of Americans have signed our "Stand with Israel" petition. Mathew and Anita Staver, founders of Liberty Counsel, returned from Israel and had the opportunity to meet privately with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where they expressed the strong support of the American people.
During that meeting, Mr. Netanyahu said that conflict over the right of Israel to exist is at its core a battle over values and Western civilization. President Obama has called for Israel to return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders, which would make Israel only nine miles wide and thus lead to the complete destruction of the Jewish people.
Netanyahu said, "In America, you need to ask the question, WWAD, What Would America Do?" Indeed, what would we do if England or Spain asked us to return to our pre-1776 borders? Every Israeli leader we met this past week expressed the same sentiment.
In Mr. Netanyahu's recent address to a joint session of the United States Congress, he stated that he is willing to accept a Palestinian state; however Palestine must acknowledge Israel's right to exist as a state. It is time for President Abbas to stand up before his people and say, "I will accept a Jewish state." Mr. Netanyahu said, "With those six words, the Israeli people will be prepared to make a far-reaching compromise."
Liberty Counsel condemns the Obama Administration's current policy toward Israel. It must be thoroughly reexamined and then changed appropriately.
In September, the United Nations is slated to vote whether to recognize a Palestinian state. If they do, they will be sanctioning Israel's sworn enemy who, for a generation, has refused to even acknowledge Israel's right to exist as a nation. Liberty Counsel has created a sticker that proudly proclaims "Stand with Israel."
"Now more than ever, Israel needs America and America needs Israel," concluded Mat Staver.

Elsewhere in America, there are voices calling out that instead of giving more land to the so-called Palestinians, why not give more land to Israel? For one thing, the Palestinians would rather live in Israel than under the Palestinian Authority.
From the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
