Listed in: Israel, Other Domestic Policy, Other Foreign Policy, NJDC News, Press Releases

Obama and Biden will protect Israel and lead us to energy independence.

This week, the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) launched a new ad about Senator Barack Obama’s and Senator Joe Biden’s record on Israel and their plan for energy independence. This is the latest ad in a national ad campaign that will continue to appear in local Jewish newspapers across the country until Election Day.

"Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden both have impeccable records in support of Israel and will continue to fight for Israel’s right to live in peace and security as a Jewish state," said Ira N. Forman, Executive Director of NJDC.

The ad, which focuses on Israel and energy independence, states:

Obama and Biden will protect Israel and lead us to energy independence.

Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe Israel is our only democratic ally in the Middle East. They will fight for Israel’s right to live in peace and security as aJewish state.

Obama will fight terrorism.

Obama introduced the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2007, co-sponsored the Palestinian Anti-Terror Act, and called upon the European Union to add Hezbollah to its list of terrorist organizations.

Obama has a plan for energy independence.

Obama’s comprehensive energy plan moves the country to alternative sources of energy and significantly reduces our dependence on Middle East oil, enhancing the U.S.-Israel relationship.

“No one in the United States Senate has been a better friend to Israel than Joe Biden. I would have never, ever joined this ticket were I not absolutely sure Barack Obama shared my passion.”
