Fmr. Bush 43 Foreign Policy Adviser: Lindsey Graham Comments on Waging Holy War ‘Isn’t Productive’

EXCERPT:

SENOR: "I don't think it's productive right now for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is some of the out — most outspoken voices right now in Israel are Israeli Arabs showing solidarity with Israeli Jews against the threat from Hamas. I got a text message the other day from a friend of mine who's an actor in Tel Aviv, Israeli Arab Muslim, who is just horrified about what's happening. A friend of his, another Israeli Arab, is one of the people who've been taken hostage. There's a very prominent woman on one of the local Israeli television channels, Lucy Arash, who's Israeli Arab, who went on the air, and instead of speaking Hebrew or Arabic, she made a statement in English because she wanted the world to see and she wanted to send a message to Hamas to say, 'We stand with Israel. We stand with our fellow citizens in Israel when you're going to attack like this.' And so, I think the sense of Israel and the diversity of Israel is sometimes not enough of a spotlight is put on it. It's a diverse country that's showing incredible solidarity right now, and I just don't think this language is necessary."
