Yet. despite the years of war. terrorism. and diplomatic and economic isolation by enemies far and near. the Israeli people have never turned away from their vibrant. pluralistic democracy that guarantees freedom of speech. association and religion. Indeed. the modern State of Israel has built a new and dynamic democratic society and created a thriving economic. political. cultural and intellectual life. It is a nation of immigrants. as is the United States. which has benefited from the diversity of its population. Throughout my career in Congress. I have consistently made a strong and close relationship between the United States and Israel among my highest priorities.
