Her name is Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla) and she is already making waves in the Holy Land. The Jerusalem Post has a wonderful article about her straight talk to the Appeaser in Chief about what he’s been doing wrong in his foreign policy:
“I believe we have had the wrong approach in the Obama administration of pressuring Israel to make concessions and appeasing enemies like Iran and Syria,” she said. “It’s shameful to make public statements about Israel as if a housing complex is an impediment to peace while the Palestinians’ so-called leaders get away with murder.”
She’s also suggesting that America stop funding anti-Israel extremists at the UN:
She also plans to refile a bill on UN reform, which includes provisions to push for changes at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and to remove the US from the Human Rights Council.
“UNWRA has been a tool used by the extremists of the Palestinian groups to bash Israel,” she said. “And a lot of the taxpayer dollars that go to the UN Human Rights Council – I believe in zapping those tax dollars. We can put that money to better uses.”
Amen!
Ros-Lehtinen: Obama wrong to give ‘blank check’ to PA
Meanwhile, the “Palestinians” are livid that the U.S. Congress is stepping up in support of Israel and that the incoming Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives will be even more outspoken in support of Israel:
“Members of Congress who are truly concerned about the safety and security of Israelis should recognize that they will never be safeguarded until Palestinians gain their freedom and legal rights,” it continued. “They should work to support the efforts of President Obama and his administration to bring peace to the region, rather than obstructing them and passing resolutions that hinder that effort.”
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen will be wonderful as the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee!
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is currently the most senior Republican woman in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is the first Republican woman elected to the House of Representatives from Florida. She was born in Havana, Cuba and her maternal grandparents were Sephardic Jews from Turkey.
