"Israel should freeze settlement construction, dismantle unauthorized outposts, end the
daily humiliation of the Palestinian people, and not prejudice final negotiations with
the placements of walls and fences"
— President George W. Bush
(speaking at Whitehall Palace If i London, November 19 2003: wwwwbitehouse.gov ).
John Kerry
20 Years of Standing with Us
Supporting Israel in the Senate:
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has made note of "Kerry's 100 percent
pro-Israel voting record in the Senate" (Jewish Telegraphic Agency, May 18, 2004).
Supporting Israel's Security Fence:
John Kerry has strongly and repeatedly supported Israel's right to build a security fence.
During a debate in February, he described Israel's self-defense measure as "a fence
necessary to the security of Israel until they have a partner to be able to negotiate"
(New York Times transcript, February 29, 2004).
Taking On Saudi Support of Terrorism:
John Kerry has condemned the Saudis for their failure to fight terrorism, pledging that as
president he will "end this sweetheart relationship with a bunch of Arab countries that still
allows money to move to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Al Aqsa Brigade" (CBSNews.com ,
April 18, 2004). He has also blasted "Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah's outrageous
anti-Semitic comments blaming 'Zionists' for the terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia
President Bush has said nothing. As President, I will never permit this kind of attack to
go unanswered" (statement by John Kerry, May 5, 2004).
Working for Israel's Security:
John Kerry has clearly noted his opposition to any Palestinian "right of return" to Israel
(NBC's "Meet the Press," April 18, 2004); he has forcefully supported Israel's right to target
Hamas leadership for assassination ("Meet the Press"); he has repeatedly pledged that a
Kerry Administration will never force Israel to take steps that compromise her security
(speech before the Anti-Defamation League, www.acll.org , May 3, 2004); and he has ruled
out Arafat as a negotiating partner for Israel, calling him "an outlaw to the peace process"
(Associated Press, March 10, 2004).
