WASHINGTON - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said he spoke on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and reiterated U.S. support for its Middle East ally. “Had a great conversation with Prime Minister @netanyahu this morning. The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself from imminent threats. Under President @realDonaldTrump, America will always stand with Israel!” Pence wrote on Twitter, without specifying the imminent threats.

Israel said it conducted an air strike on Sunday against an arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in Syria and on Thursday Netanyahu hinted at possible Israeli involvement in a series of blasts in the past few weeks in Iraq.

We should support all countries right to freedom and right to defend themselves

VP if Israel is just defending themselves why are they just as savage as the terrorists they claim they are defending against. They show no regard to collateral damage. They'll bomb a building with a hundred noncombatants just to get one terrorist. Good guys don't do this.

slippery FakeChristian VP has a firm grip of the obvious.

Why is anyone reporting on what this sleazebag has to say?.

Yeah. Well, I think we are paying between 10 to 20 % of their annual defense budget. So there’s that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

“But,” he continued, “unfortunately the Jews will all die in hellfire and damnation once Jesus returns. It’s in the Bible.” DontTellBibi

Does he not see that nobody pays any attention to or cares about him.

But Iran can’t defend itself

And I support everyone’s right to defend their integrity by calling you a presidential lap dog.

But he is against a woman's right to defend herself....

The only country we ever say this about. Israel is run by a bunch of paranoiacs who don't realize they already won the war, and we're feeding that paranoia and enabling them every step of the way. BoycottIsrael

Pence acts as if that has changed. What a fraud.

And I support any US citizen’s right to tell Pence to eff off.

All countries have the right to defend themselves.

Yeah but they're kinda being the first to throw punches and that's just power-tripping themselves into a brawl no matter who they decide to pick on. They should just stop taking advise from President Potatohead.

Geezuz Pence looks like he has been staying awake all night worrying what mother thinks about Nikki Haley.😳

Sensible, decent people no longer listen to Mike Pence.

So do I. Let them defend themselves without American money. I bet they haul their asses to the negotiating table real quick then.

No Country has 'Bombed' Israel...in 2018-2019 but Israel has 'Bombed' Syria 300+ times Lebanon 50+ times Gaza 300+ times Iraq 3 times Who is defending the World From ApartheidIsrael..?

I don’t give a shit what they do over there. Why the hardon from gop about Israel?

preemptively evidently

Standing with your boot on another's neck isn't defending yourself. Unless you're a NYC coo, I suppose.

Pence faps to End Times fantasies.

Uncle, Palestine also has right to be independent.

right wing evangelical boomers****

I support the right to raw dog pornstars!

This from the guy who supports children dying in his regimes concentration camps.

wish i had an iron shield, dangit,

And i can shoot anyone in 5ave... 🙄🤪😜

I support his right to resign with his racist boss.
