10 Marder, Sermons: “Instead, we need to explain patiently and logically why it is indeed in America’s best interest to support Israel. First, because Israel is a dynamic and robust democracy – the only one in the Middle East; not a perfect country, but one founded on Western values of liberty, equality and tolerance that is stable, open and a reliable supporter of the U.S.”
