Let us resolve not to allow this international issue to become a target for simmering domestic discontent. We must ensure that a decade of inaction on our needs at home is not converted into an invitation for isolationism. I believe Americans support Israels efforts to provide a homeland to the Jews who have waited so many decades to escape from the Soviet Union. I believe we should assist Israels efforts to absorb those immigrants. I believe we should not permit that assistance to be held up by politics or petulance. We need to bring this issue to debate as soon as possible.
