It is also good that the Speaker has been selected now. We need the Republicans to be united in their support for Israel and against evil in this world.
What Hamas did to Israeli civilians is pure evil. On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded Israel and killed over 1,400 men, women, children, and infants, including over two dozen Americans. They are now holding over 200 hostages captured during that horrific attack, including Americans.
A reporter just asked me, “How do you think the country should respond to the crisis in Israel and Gaza?” I wrote the following:
The US should provide a supportive role for Israel as we are doing. I don’t think, however, that we should be advising them to stall on their tactics. Now is the time for Israel to go after Hamas to try to eliminate them as a future, credible threat.
In addition, we should not negotiate with terrorists. In 1985 Ronald Reagan indicated, "America will never make concessions to terrorists -- to do so would only invite more terrorism." Freeing up $6 Billion in frozen assets to go to Iran in order to free 5 prisoners was a colossal mistake and simply emboldened enemies of the US and Israel.
One other point - the US needs to allow more drilling for oil in our own country and work to refill the oil reserves. By working towards becoming energy-independent again, we will reduce the cost of oil. Since Iran relies on oil as its major export, this change would reduce Iran’s financial assets to invest in terrorism.
These are troubling times that we are living in. Thank you for doing your part by supporting good candidates, praying for our country, and working for proven, conservative causes that will actually help our families.
May God bless you, and may God continue to bless our great country.
Sincerely,
Neil C. Parrott
