Congressman Joe Walsh will be attending an open-forum on the US-Israel relationship hosted by Northwestern University’s pro-Israel student organization, Wildcats for Israel, Sunday evening.

Joined by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, both members will discuss their widely differing views on the US-Israeli relationship.

This forum will provide local residents an excellent opportunity to hear varying sides of discussion as to what the United State’s relationship with Israel should look like in the future.

“The U.S.-Israeli friendship is based on shared democratic values, progress and a hope for continued peace between the two nations,” said Congressman Walsh. “Reinforced by America’s solid commitment to Israel’s security, the United States has had no greater friend in the Middle East.”

“The recent events in the region have reinforced Israel’s importance in an increasingly volatile part of the world, as the only stable pro-western democracy. For the sake of America’s own security, we cannot take our longstanding friendship with Israel for granted. We must continue to do all that we can support her. United, we will work together to ensure security and build peace in the region.”

Congressman Walsh is a passionate supporter of Israel as evidenced by recently taking the lead in sending a bi-partisan letter to Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, urging her stand by Israel at the United Nations Security Council.

  1. The press release’s date was incorrect. The forum is Sunday, which is April 3rd.

  2. Here’s the April Fool’s joke, Ela:

    “Congressman Walsh is a passionate supporter of Israel as evidenced by recently taking the lead in sending a bi-partisan letter to Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, urging her stand by Israel at the United Nations Security Council.”

    He wrote a letter! And on such a controversial subject, too! What a leader!
