We've released the following statement with Senate President @JStuartAdams and House Speaker @BradWilsonGOP about the escalating violence in Israel.
@GovCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP Thanks for standing with #Israel
@GovCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP I don't recall the Utah constitution giving any of you the right to make declarations regarding foreign affairs in the capacity of your elected offices.
@GovCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP Imagine a kid at the playground throwing thousands of punchesnat a kid & he blocks 90%. That means 10٪ got through. If all the missles got through Israel would be destroyed. Not only should Israel defend itself, USA should break up the fight; just as an adult in the playground.
@GovCox @SpencerJCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP Oooof, you three need to go and watch what John Oliver said last night. As leadership of one of the 50 states, why do you even feel compelled to release a statement like this? Like our UT trade relations will suffer? I like a lot about the new gov, but this is a really bad take.
@GovCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP As long as I can remember there has been conflict there. No one seems to support Palestinians. They matter too. This is never going to end.
@GovCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP Thank you for the courageous statement of support for Israel. Israel is under attack from Iran's terrorist network. Hamas used to be a somewhat thinly veiled proxy for Iranian hostility toward Israel. Iran was on the defense but has been emboldened by the Bidan admin.
@GovCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP Israel takes extraordinary measures to protect the lives of Palestinian civilians. Hamas does the opposite, deliberately endangering Palestinian civilians, and intentionally attack Israeli civilian populations. Palestinian violence deserves unconditional condemnation.
@GovCox @SpencerJCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP 61 dead children because people were protesting. We should do everything we can to stop the violence.
@GovCox @SpencerJCox @JStuartAdams @BradWilsonGOP Now do Trump!
