US Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) launched an unusual attack on Vice President Vance, asserting that Israel was created by Jewish blood, sweat, and tears, not by the United States, and suggesting Vance should study history. The remarks were reported Friday evening.
US Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) issued a sharp rebuke of Vice President Vance on Friday evening, criticizing what he described as a fundamental misunderstanding of Israel's origins. Fine stated that Israel was not created by the US nor is it funded by Washington except to a small degree. He called on Vance to 'go back and study history.' Fine is a prominent pro-Israel voice in Congress, making this an unusual intra-party attack from a Republican on the sitting Vice President. Neither the White House nor VP Vance's office has yet responded. The specific remarks by Vance that prompted Fine's criticism were not included in the initial report.
