You know, all of us, even those of us who work here in Washington, D.C., the capital where you're about to go, the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, all of us, even us who are here, take our freedoms, that justice for granted. We move about our country right now without fear. We put our kids on the school bus in the morning. We don't even think about their safety and about whether or not they'll be coming home that night. But it's tragically different tonight - today in Israel.
Terrorist danger lurks around every corner.
We saw that just in the tragic death yesterday. The front lines are often just beyond that front door. The army reservist served the reserve duty on those front lines, sometimes just getting up in the morning and driving to those lines, they're so close from home. And that same hospital, as I tour that hospital, it is the evacuation center for that a whole part of the world, because of the fear, of the reality, the potential for chemical warfare. I would say, that after 50 years the one place in the world created as a sanctuary for Jews may be the place where, today, they are at greatest risk.
