“It’s the reason why I ran for the Senate, [it] is all wrapped up in this battle. I am totally dedicated to the survival of the state of Israel in the 21st century." —Sen. Mark Kirk, 11/25/13

Disappointing, considering Illinois has sent many officials to Congress, such as Henry Hyde and Charles Percy, who were actually committed to a balanced approach in our relations with Israel.

He was very Pro-Israel when he was running for US Senate in 2010 wasn't he? I think his former Congressional District has a good amount of Jewish People living there

WTF does that have to do with anything? I'm assuming these Jews are Americans. If they are Israelis or any other nationality, they aren't entitled to any representation in Congress.

Should Texas's senators declare their reason for holding office is to ensure the survival of Mexico because we have a good amount of Mexicans living here?

If people were worried about an existential threat to it from Cuba and Venezuela, it might not be such bad politics.

We already have a group of people obsessed with an existential threat from Cuba ... Cuban-Americans.

Israel doesn't face an existential threat from anyone. They've been crying wolf about Iran since the early '90s. If every other country in your general vicinity hates you, that sounds like a personal problem.
