Mike Johnson to Republican Jewish Coalition: ‘We Are Going to Stand Like a Rock’ with Israel

Joel B. Pollak 28 Oct 2023

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Newly-installed Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) delivered his first major public address as Speaker to the Republican Jewish Coalition annual summit Saturday night, declaring: “We are going to stand like a rock with our friend, and ally, Israel.”

Johnson acknowledged that the meeting was his first public event as Speaker since being elected on Wednesday. He said he had been deeply moved by the stories of Israelis who had survived attacks by the “demonic” Palestinian terror group Hamas.

Drawing on his own religious faith — for which he has been mocked by critics — Johnson declared: “I believe that God is not done with America yet, and I know He’s not done with Israel.”

“We have a moment to rebuild the trust of the people and restore their faith in who we are, and what we’re fighting for,” Johnson said.

Johnson replaced Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who also addressed last year’s Republican Jewish Coalition gathering, and who was a noted friend of Israel.

Johnson promised to continue in that vein. “It’s no accident that my first resolution was for Israel, and my first trip was to come and be with you,” he said, drawing a standing ovation. “I want everybody to know where we stand.”

So... I guess Matt Gaetz was right in what he did? (forcing out McCarthy)

Seems like the RINOS of this forum (and they deserve to be called NOTHING less than what they are) were calling for Mr. Gaetz' neck not so long ago...

For the last nine months, we've been stuck with the guy Trump endorsed.

Except he has backpedaled on his support for giving Ukraine more $$ -- he was opposed before he was elected Speaker. 

I don't see that as a positive.

Forcing out McCarthy was a positive.  He didn't keep his word, not once but twice.  I'm glad he's out.

I like him, too @DCPatriot .  I do wish Johnson had taken a moment to explain what it is WE are fighting for --- dare I ask:  What's in it for us?

In all candor, it makes me a little queasy when the second in line for POTUS is committed to unlimited treasure and boots on the ground because "As a Christian, we believe the Bible teaches very clearly that we're to stand with Israel".
