It may be symbolic, but its the right symbol, aimed by the Democrat-controlled Senate at the Democratic president who might think of having other ideas when the time comes. | [Jpost] Resolution to provide diplomatic, economic and military support to Israel if the Jewish State is forced to act militarily against Iranian nuclear program adopted by US Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
On Israel's 65th Independence Day, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee adopted "Senate Resolution 65," stipulating that the US will assist Israel diplomatically, economically and militarily if the Jewish state is compelled to take military action against Iran "in its defense of its territory, people, and existence."

(R-SC) sponsored Tuesday's resolution, which garnered a bipartisan group of 79 co-sponsors. The resolution also emphasizes that the US must be committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has sent a very clear and enormously important message of solidarity with Israel against the Iranian nuclear threat--which endangers American, Israeli, and international security," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) said in a statement.
"AIPAC urges the full Senate to act expeditiously to adopt the resolution."
