In Memoriam: Senator Jesse Helms

Beginning in 1984 Jesse Helms became one of Israel’s staunchest supporters. In 1986 he spoke at AFSI’s national convention. Helms called Israel the only reliable ally of the United States in the Middle East and initiated a letter to President Reagan dated March 6, 1985 (signed by 19 Senators and Congressmen) in which he urged permanent Israeli control of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

A sharp critic of State Department policy, Helms urged a defense agreement with Israel to include air strips, joint research and development and cooperation in other fields.

AFSI is proud of a letter we received from Senator Helms dated February 25, 1987 in which he said “AFSI has become an invaluable source of information on Middle East issues for my staff and me.”
