Yesterday afternoon, by a razor-thin margin, the Senate voted to delay anti-Israel former Senator Chuck Hagel's nomination for Secretary of Defense.
This is a tremendous victory, but a very fragile victory. Another vote will come within days, and now is the time to tell the Senate that we cannot accept a Secretary of Defense who appeases Iran and opposes Israel.
New revelations pour in every day. Yesterday, it was reported that Senator Hagel claimed the State Department was controlled by Israel – adding yet another outrageous statement to a long line of statements against Israel and against Americans who support Israel.
The Senate must continue to hear your voice. Deliver a clear message to the Senators who voted against Senator Hagel: Stand firm – Senator Hagel is not the right person to head up the Department of Defense. Do not yield to media pressure.
Sign the Petition to Defend Israel and Defeat Chuck Hagel's Nomination.
