AND THIS NATION NEEDS RECOGNITION OF “ITS RIGHT TO EXIST”????? RSK
President Obama stood before the United Nations General Assembly Wednesday – in the same place he stood last year to make a bid for Palestinian statehood within the year – only this time, to plead his case against recognition of the Palestinian Authority from the U.N. Security Council.
The Obama Administration has come under intense scrutiny for what many have perceived as a lack of support for Israel. And recently, Republican presidential frontrunner, Gov. Rick Perry, blasted Obama for fostering a policy of “appeasement” in the Middle East, by demanding concessions from the Jewish state and empowering the Palestinian Authority to seek statehood.
Now, I’m no politician, but to me, this is a very important issue for many reasons. Israel stands for many things: democracy, human rights, culture and strong religious values. But what stands out most in my mind, as a doctor, are the important contributions that Israeli scientists and researchers have made to the practice of medicine.
