Young Guns, by Rep. Paul Ryan, Rep. Eric Cantor & Rep. Kevin McCarthy: on War & Peace


Eric Cantor: Demand that Palestinians stamp out homegrown terrorism

American stands with Israel for both moral and strategic reasons. Israel is not only a democratic ally and our only true friend in the Middle East; it is also a vital pillar of U.S. national security strategy. When it is strong--its borders secure, its people free from the threat of Iran and its terrorist proxies--the Middle East is a much more stable and peaceful place.

On the other hand, if Iran and the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah are allowed to grow stronger at Israel's expense, the resulting victory for radical forces would deal a blow to U.S. antiterrorism efforts. Terrorism gains legitimacy and momentum when it is shown to work.

Instead, we must demand that the Palestinians stamp out anti-Israel incitement and stop dragging their feet on fighting homegrown terrorism. And we also ought to insist that Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan move the Arab world toward a normalization of relations with Israel.
