The Bennett And Biden Meeting Agenda

Israel Will Grow – Regardless
Through tens of thousands of terror attacks and two intifadas, Israel continued to develop, build, and grow. It almost seems that opposition to Israel’s development furthers Israel’s growth.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Is A War Of Values
