May 27, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: [email protected] PARSIPPANY – Today, Philip Rizzo called on all candidates for governor to publicly stand with Israel. Rizzo stated, “The State of New Jersey and the State of Israel have very close ties. Many of our citizens have family and friends in Israel. We also enjoy a warm and mutually beneficial economic relationship. As a candidate for NJ Governor, and a visitor to Israel, I must speak out on the humanitarian crisis we are witnessing. I support the Israeli people’s right to self-defense. I also ask every person with a public voice to speak out, and urge all candidates for governor to always stand strong with Israel. We mourn the loss of all innocent life. The Israeli people have the right to live in peace and security and they have every right to defend themselves. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are uniquely grounded in Judeo-Christian values embraced by Americans and Israelis. Every nation’s first responsibility is to protect the life of its citizens, because without it, liberty and the pursuit of happiness do not exist. Israel must protect her citizens and we must all condemn the terrorists who kill the innocent. I will continue to pray for the peace and safety of Israel.” To learn more about the Rizzo for Governor campaign please visit: jerseyrizzo.com. |
