Specifically, this article focuses on several Holocaust speeches that were given by various high-ranking public officials. Obama gave a very supportive speech saying "That is why like many Jews, I take great comfort in the rebirth of a sovereign Jewish state in our ancestral homeland, in the Jewish people once again having a voice, a refuge, and most importantly, the power to defend ourselves." I find it comforting that Obama gave his direct support to Israel, and that the leader of the country I live in strongly supports the existence of a Jewish state. Dermer, the Israeli ambassador to the United States, is specifically proposing that direct Jewish support is necessary. It is important that we are able to recognize, as the article stated, that both Obama and Dermer's views can coexist. I really appreciate that both of these views are pro Israel, and it should provide comfort to everyone that there is support for them.

Wednesday was National Israel Remembrance Day. Some of the top world leaders spoke to commemorate this day. Some of the most important people that spoke, and that were highlighted in the article was President Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israeli ambassador to the United States Dermer. It is a well known fact that Obama and Netanyahu are not the best of friends; however, they are still able to get business taken care of. Obama advocates for international tolerance for the world. In turn, this would solve Israel's constant security problem. However, some think that it would be more beneficial to just focus specifically on the Israeli security problem as this would be an "easier" task to accomplish for an immediate fix for the Israelis.

I really liked what you had to say about the article and both political parties. I too agree that is it incredible that Obama is supporting Israel and supports a Jewish state. I find it interesting how you viewed Obamas want for international tolerance, thinking that It would eventually help Israel's security problem. I liked this interpretation, but I personally think it would be more beneficial to focus on just Israel on Israel National remembrance day instead of the rest of the world. I really liked your entry!
