JEWISH FEDERATIONS JOIN IN STATEMENT ON U.S. SENATOR ROBERT MENENDEZ
Although anticipated given the publicity in the last few days, the news that Senator Robert Menendez has been indicted is received with deep sorrow by the NJ State Association of Jewish Federations and its constituent federations. In this time of personal difficulty for him and his family and for the citizens of the State, the undersigned federations gratefully acknowledge the Senator’s leadership and history of strong support for issues of concern to the Jewish community and his friendship for so many years during his tenure in Congress and in the State House.
Senator Menendez has been a passionate spokesperson for the U.S.-Israel relationship, a guardian of Israel’s security interests and, as has been shown over and again, he has been the foremost proponent in the U.S. Senate for opposition to a nuclear armed Iran. At the same time, Senator Menendez has responded affirmatively on so many levels to the pleas of the most vulnerable in our society who seek equity, and to the calls for justice from citizens who have suffered abuse of their human rights and dignity.
The merits of the allegations against the Senator will take their own course; any rush to judgement would tarnish a record of service to state and nation that is surpassed by few of those who we, as Americans and residents of New Jersey, have chosen to represent us.
This is not a time to turn our back on a tried and true friend. Senator Menendez continues to have our prayers for the strength to meet the challenge that lies ahead.
