2018 MA Senate race: on Foreign Policy


John Kingston: Our allies should bear more of our common burden

I would advocate for our allies to bear more of our common burden, as it is foolish for us to defend those who are fully capable of defending themselves.

I remain concerned about the dangerous inclinations of rogue states such as North Korea, Iran, and Syria. I would support efforts to work with our allies and others who are concerned to ensure that the ability of those who wish us harm is greatly curbed. I oppose efforts to isolate and harass Israel in forums such as the United Nations.

We must remain vigilant as the threat of global terrorism is ever-present. Those who wish us ill and carry evil in their hearts have not disappeared. We need to continue to take the battle to the enemy, as the more they remain on the defensive the less likely they are to successfully attack our homeland.

Allen Waters: Supports Israel and settler movement

I am pro-Israel and strongly condemn the United Nations Security Council vote against Israel's settlement construction in the West Bank. Elizabeth Warren supported the UN Security Vote, and therefore does not stand with our strongest, and perhaps our only real ally in the region.
