Congressman Lowenthal Condemns Attack Ad on National Security Advisor Susan Rice
March 2, 2015
Press Release
Congressman Alan Lowenthal (CA-47) issued the following statement today regarding an advertisement appearing in the February 28 New York Times attacking National Security Advisor Susan Rice:
"I am appalled by the recent New York Times advertisement written by Rabbi Shmuley Botech for the " This World : The Values Network ." Rabbi Shmuley attacked National Security Advisor Susan Rice claiming she is " blind to genocide" in Israel and Rwanda. Ms. Rice is a respected professional who has served her country proudly in numerous roles over the past two decades. This ad would be laughable if it was not so utterly offensive. I join with The American Jewish Committee ( AJC ) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL ) in condemning the ad. The friendship between the United States and Israel remains unshakable, regardless of such despicable and disparaging efforts."
