Thousands of people attended a pro-Israel rally in front of Washington’s Capitol Hill Sunday, calling on the US to do more to support the beleaguered country. The event was organized by former Arkansas Governor and potential Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, along with Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America.

Huckabee organized the rally in response to US President Barack Obama’s lackluster support for Israel during Operation Protective Edge. “It’s time for the United States to join together in prayer and support for Israel. I have been to Israel nearly 30 times over the past 41 years and have never seen the nation under such threat,” Mr. Huckabee stated prior to the rally.

“Israel is our closest ally and friend in the Middle East, and they are suffering due to the weak policies of the Obama administration. The president has done little to recognize the growing threat of Hamas. God has protected this tiny, but increasingly powerful nation, and it’s time for the United States to do the same,” he added.

In addition to Huckabee and Nance, notable attendees included Zionist Organization of America president Morton Klein, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, Republican Representatives Trent Franks of Arizona and Vicky Hartzler of Missouri, American Values president Gary Bauer and Israeli MK Danny Danon.

“Thousands of Americans have come here today to express how important it is to support Israel, after Operation Protective Edge and the kidnapping and murder of the three teens,” Huckabee told the audience.

“A clear call needs to go out from here that hasn’t been heard from the [Obama administration], that Israel has the right and the moral obligation to protect the security of its citizens against radical Islamic terrorism.”

“We waste more time telling Israel not to build in the land that was given to Abraham than we do telling the Iranians to stop building bombs intended for the United States,” he said.

Danon expressed Israel’s appreciation for the show of support. Israel has, he said, “another Iron Dome in the thousands of Americans who support the State of Israel with all their hearts and stand by its side always.”
