“Governor: We urge our Florida readers to come out on November 6 and vote for Republican and Trump supporter Ron DeSantis for governor. Throughout his career in Congress DeSantis has been a vocal supporter of Israel. He has supported the relocation of the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, has strongly opposed the BDS movement and, if elected, would seek to promote trade between Florida and Israel. He also plans to partner with Israel to clean up the pollution that plagues Florida’s coastal waters, taking advantage of Israel’s highly regarded expertise in that field. We are confident that as governor, he would use his “bully pulpit” in support of Israel. His opponent, Democrat Andrew Gillum, supports BDS and strongly opposed the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. He was also a supporter of he Iran nuclear deal.

Senator: We support Rick Scott for U.S. Senator from Florida. Scott has been a strong supporter of Israel and his opponent, the incumbent Bill Nelson has sharply attacked him for it. Scott was singled out by Prime Minister Netanyahu for special recognition when he was in Israel attending the relocation of the American Embassy to Jerusalem with other American officials.”…
