Devos thank you so much, john. I appreciate that and thank you for this important discussion today. I wish the subject need to be discussed at all. Discrimination against anyone on the basis of their faith or ethnicity is always wrong. That we have to repeat that refrain today is troubling. Its even more troubling that too many young people perpetrate that kind of discrimination. This administration is committed to stopping it. We stand firmly against the alarming rise of antisemitism and we acknowledge this reality. Jerusalem is israels capital. [applause] devos when President Trump moved the us embassy to jerusalem it was a historic step towards peace in the region. And peace in the middle east begins by recognizing israels right to exist. Israel is a light to the region, but we all know its surrounded by jihadists who embrace people evil and who deny israels existence and violently work to wipe it off the map. I think of my own visits to the holy land. They were indelible experience
