One of the most powerful members of the Republican opposition has vowed that the United States will stand by Israel.

John Boehner, who became Speaker of the House of Representatives after the Republican Party won a majority at the mid-term elections last November, made the promise during a meeting with the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren.

Mr. Boehner, who has emerged as a vocal opponent to President Obama and the Democrats in recent years, said: "Israel is one of America’s strongest allies. We share common values, and fight common enemies in the form of violent extremism. "

The people of Israel have sacrificed for the sake of peace and stability. With change coming rapidly to the Middle East, the US is committed to standing by our close ally to maintain peace and stability in the region."

Mr Oren welcomed the remarks as “especially valued at this time of change in the Middle East, and as Israel continues to confront the threats of terror and Iranian nuclearisation.”

Mr Boehner’s comments followed visits to Israel by three high-profile Republicans expected to run for the presidency next year, including former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

The Biggest Error of Christian America

Most ministers call Abraham a “Jew” without justification or Scriptural evidence. Preachers refer to Moses and the ancient Israelites who came out of Egypt as “Jews.” Why? It is because they are taught to do so in their colleges and seminaries (controlled by jews). The book of Exodus calls them Israelites, the House of Jacob, Hebrews, Israel, and the children of Israel. Never are any of this race called “Jews.”
