Explained | Nancy Pelosi and Israel: Just How Hawkish Is the Next Speaker of the House?

Pelosi keeps the dog tags of Israeli soldiers as a 'symbol of the sacrifices made, sacrifices far too great by the people of the state of Israel'
Nancy Pelosi, 78, was elected as Speaker of the House on Thursday, making her the most powerful woman in U.S. politics and both the only woman who has held the office and now one of just a handful of Speakers to return to the position.
[...]
Pelosi has also held staunchly pro-Israel views that have at times even out flanked the GOP from the right.
In 2005, while addressing AIPAC, Pelosi had waxed poetic about her personal experiences in Israel and how they shaped her views: “This spring, I was in Israel as part of a congressional trip that also took us to Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. One of the most powerful experiences was taking a helicopter toward Gaza, over the path of the security fence. We set down in a field that belonged to a local kibbutz. It was a cool but sunny day, and the field was starting to bloom with mustard. Mustard is a crop that grows in California, and it felt at that moment as if I were home.”
Pelosi, who was the 52nd Speaker of the House, previously served from 2007 to 2011 in the position which coincided with the 2008-2009 Israel-Gaza war known as Operation Cast Lead. In 2009, Pelosi sponsored a resolution that passed the House by a 390-5 majority blaming the Palestinian side for the violence and reaffirming U.S. support for Israel and a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The resolution quoted then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said in 2008, “We strongly condemn the repeated rocket and mortar attacks against Israel and hold Hamas responsible for breaking the cease-fire and for the renewal of violence there.”
Stephen Zunes, author and professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco, pointed out at the time that the language in the House decision was even to the right of the Bush administration, which supported the UN Security Council resolution condemning “all acts of violence and terror directed against civilians” - the congressional resolution only condemns the violence and terror of Hamas.
Pelosi’s resolution also called for “the immediate release of the kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been illegally held in Gaza since June 2006.”
The Shalit kidnapping was a personal issue for Pelosi, who in 2008, while meeting with then Israeli Knesset speaker Dalia Itzik, held up dog tags of three Israeli soldiers kidnapped in 2006. Two of them belonged to Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, whose bodies were repatriated to Israel earlier that year. The third belonged to Gilad Shalit, who at the time was still believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza. Shalit was famously freed in 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange deal.
Pelosi said she kept them as a “symbol of the sacrifices made, sacrifices far too great by the people of the state of Israel.”

Pelosi, who was endorsed this week by J Street in her bid for speaker, addressed the 2017 AIPAC Policy Conference by reading a J Street-backed letter, which was signed by 191 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, urging U.S. President Donald Trump to support a two-state solution.
[...]
Pelosi, at 78, represents the Democratic establishment’s traditional position on Israel, coupling unwavering support for Israeli defense and the two-state solution for peace between Israel and Palestinians, a bipartisan position that courts both AIPAC and J Street and doesn’t diverge too far from that of centrist Republicans. Unlike some new members of her caucus who criticize Israel for “occupying” the West Bank or for human rights abuses, Pelosi reservers her criticism only for Israeli leaders or policies she disagrees with, most prominently Netanyahu.
Nancy Pelosi’s links to Israel are strong and personal
By Jennifer Jacobson
Jewish Journal,
Before a packed meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) three years ago, U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) connected her political support for the Jewish state with her personal life.
“My daughter is Catholic. My son-in-law is Jewish,” she said. “Last week I celebrated my birthday and my grandchildren — ages 4 and 6 — called to sing ‘Happy Birthday.’ And the surprise, the real gift, was that they sang it in Hebrew.”
Now that the Democrats have taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives, the party is expected to install Pelosi, 66, as speaker, making her the first woman to hold the position that is two heartbeats away from the presidency.
Political observers say it’s no surprise that the congresswoman from San Francisco considers herself close to the Jews.
The daughter of Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., a former mayor of Baltimore, Pelosi grew up in a Democratic family with Jewish neighbors and friends.
“She likes to say that, growing up in Baltimore, she went to a bar or bat mitzvah every Saturday,” Amy Friedkin, a former president of AIPAC and a friend of Pelosi’s for 25 years, wrote in an e-mail message to JTA.
Friedkin noted that there’s even a soccer field in the Haifa area of Israel named after the lawmaker’s family.
While the Republicans had campaigned partly on the premise that support for Israel among Democrats has waned, exit polls from Tuesday’s voting show that Democrats won an overwhelming majority of the Jewish vote.
With Pelosi as speaker, Jewish activists and officials are confident that the U.S. Congress will remain strongly pro-Israel.
“I’ve heard her say numerous times that the single-greatest achievement of the 20th century” was the founding of the modern state of Israel, Friedkin wrote. “She has been a great friend of the U.S.-Israel relationship during her entire time in Congress and is deeply committed to strengthening that relationship.”
Sam Lauter, a pro-Israel activist in San Francisco, has known Pelosi for nearly 40 years. He was 5 years old when the Pelosis moved into his San Francisco neighborhood, he recalls. The two families lived on the same street.
“She’s one of the classiest,” most “straightforward people you could ever meet,” Lauter said. “She’s incredibly loyal.”
Lauter said the Pelosis used to attend the first night of the Passover seder at his parents’ house.
“As far as the Jewish community is concerned, she feels our issues in her soul,” he said.
To illustrate his point, Lauter told a Pelosi story that has become almost legendary in the Jewish community.
At an AIPAC members luncheon in San Francisco right after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Pelosi was speaking when an alarm sounded.
“Everybody started getting nervous, scrambling toward the door,” Lauter recalled. One person, though, was reading the words of “Hatikvah,” the Israeli national anthem, above the din. It was Pelosi.
“It actually calmed the crowd,” Lauter said. “You could see people actually smiling, saying, ‘Wow.’ ”
This “wasn’t something done purposefully to show everyone that Nancy Pelosi supports the Jewish community,” he said. It “actually came from inside her.”
Lauter and others say Pelosi will have to draw on that inner strength as speaker, since he predicted that she will hear from those in the Jewish community who argue that Democrats no longer support Israel the way they used to.
[...]
For his part, Lauter believes the argument about the Democrats and Pelosi lacking support for Israel is false.
For instance, he noted Pelosi’s quick response to former President Jimmy Carter’s description of Israel’s settlement policies as “apartheid” in a forthcoming book.
Pelosi publicly announced that Carter does not speak for the Democratic Party on Israel.
Rabbi Doug Kahn, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council in San Francisco, also applauded Pelosi’s repudiation of Carter’s position. He has known Pelosi since she started representing his district in 1987. Kahn said his group has always had an excellent working relationship with her. And he praised her passion for issues that relate to equal opportunity, social justice and peace.
Kahn, echoing Lauter’s point, said that Pelosi, coming from a city with such a liberal political reputation, will face challenges from the liberal segments of the Democratic Party that have criticized Israeli policies.
But he is confident that Pelosi will be effective in persuading people with a broad range of views on the Mideast the importance of maintaining bipartisan support for Israel.
WATCH: Pelosi Discusses Her Father The “Shabbos Goy”, Vows Support For Israel Won’t Become a ‘Wedge’ Issue
The Yeshiva World, March 26, 2019
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) spoke at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) 2019 Policy Conference on Tuesday, and stressed that congressional support for Israel remains bipartisan, saying no one should be allowed to make it a “wedge” issue.
“Israel and America are connected now and forever. We will never allow anyone to make Israel a wedge issue,” Pelosi said.
“That pledge is proudly honored in this Congress, where support for Israel remains ironclad and bipartisan,” she added.
[...]
“In our democratic societies we should welcome legitimate debate on how best to honor our values and to advance our priorities without questioning loyalty or patriotism,” Pelosi told the crowd of more than 18,000.
“I simply declare that to be anti-Semitic is to be anti-American,” she added to applause. “It has no place in our country.”
Pelosi recounted her father, Thomas D’Alesandro Jr.’s acquaintance with Jewish culture, saying he was a “Shabbos Goy” who “spoke Yiddish”. [2:40 mark of the speech]
Pelosi has said her father and “had a love for the idea of a Jewish state in what was then called ‘Palestine’.” She described him as a “New Deal Democrat” who “worshiped at the shrine of Franklin Delano Roosevelt” – but disagreed with the then-US President on “only two things” – the treatment of Europe’s Jews and the establishment of Israel.
[...]“This month the whole house came together to condemn the anti-Semitic myth of dual loyalty and all forms of bigotry with a resolution that ‘rejects the perpetuation of anti-Semitic stereotypes in the United States and around the world, including the pernicious myth of dual loyalty and foreign allegiance, especially in the context of support for the United States-Israel alliance,’” she said.
Pelosi listed all the pro-Israel Jewish Democrats who have leadership positions in the House, including Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, and Appropriations Committee Chair Nita Lowey.
“Assistance to Israel is vital and it’s not going anywhere,” she said, “because if you care about America’s security, you must care about Israel’s security.”

Note that Lieberman - who wants to deprive the Palestinians of their homeland, Palestine, actually is born in Moldova, a former Soviet Republic!
Note also that Lieberman, who Pelosi so dearly interacts with, in 2015 stated that Palestinian Israeli citizens disloyal to the
country "deserve to have their heads chopped off with an axe"! ("Behead Arab-Israelis Opposed to State, Says Foreign Minister",
Newsweek, 3/9/2015).
