<p><img src="images/stories/israel-80yb.gif" border="0" hspace="7" align="left" />My heart was broken by last week’s deadly attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria. So many times in Israel and other nations, I have knelt and prayed and wept with the families of terror victims. I have seen the deadly results of the hatred and anti-Semitism that drives the terrorists, and I am committed to do everything in my power to stop this ancient evil in its tracks.<br /><br />All of the signs point toward the involvement of Hezbollah and Iran in this attack. The suicide bomber reportedly had fake American identification and was apparently able to obtain a sophisticated explosive device capable of doing massive damage. Though it has not yet been confirmed, some sources say that the bomber had previously been held by the US at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. <br /><br />Noting that Iran has been plotting and attempting terror attacks around the world on Jewish targets for the past year, my dear friend Prime Minister Netanyahu laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Islamic regime in Tehran. "The time has come for all countries that know the truth to speak it," he said. "Iran is the one behind the wave of terror. Iran is the number-one exporter of terror in the world.” <br /><br />Though this awful attack happened on the other side of the world, you and I have a very real role to play in response. We must not fail to pray for the protection of Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. We must support Israel in the public arena. And we must build bridges of love and acceptance with the Jewish people.</p>
