"In her rousing pro-Israeli speech, Ros-Lehtinen, chairperson of the influential House Foreign Relations Committee, attacked the Administration’s policies towards Israel and the “dangerous Palestinian scheme” of achieving independence at the UN, asking: “A Palestinian state? What is that, anyway?” Ros-Lehtinen introduced two women in the audience from the West Bank settlement of Kedumim, saying that such places “are not an impediment to peace - but a solution for Israel’s survival.” Also on hand was Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann, (R-MN) who thrilled the crowd with her pledge to move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem “on the day that I am sworn into office” and her assertion that “Israel will never be up for grabs – not one inch, not one acre, not one square foot will ever be on the chopping block.” Bachmann said that “Israel needs a friend, but when it looks at the White House, it does not see one.”
Asserting that Iranian President Ahmadinejad was “striving for a second Holocaust” Bachman said that “once again millions of Jews are at the precipice of losing their lives today”. She called for the US Navy to impose a complete naval blockade on Iran, for the US to deploy comprehensive ballistic missile systems “on land, sea, air and in space” and for the Pentagon to prepare “war plans” in order to counter Iran’s nuclear threat."
