U.S. Senate Leader Promises
(Algemeiner) Andrew Bernard - During a wreath laying ceremony at Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust memorial, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on Friday: "As Senate Majority Leader - the highest ranking Jewish American elected official in history - I stand here today in the shadow of my ancestors who perished in the Holocaust to promise that as long as Hashem breathes air into my lungs, the United States Senate will stand behind Israel with our fullest support." Schumer is leading the delegation of seven other Democratic Senators. It follows a Republican Senate delegation led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House delegations from each party earlier in the week.
