Robinson, a Republican candidate for\u200c governor, blamed \u2063Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic lawmakers\u2062 for not standing with Israel. He Stated, &#8220;It is \u2062shameful that Democrats are failing to show support for \u200ca key ally\u2064 like Israel. Their absence at Prime Minister Netanyahu&#8217;s address sends the wrong message to the world and emboldens those who seek \u2063to \u2064undermine Israel&#8217;s security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robinson went on to express\u200c his\u2064 strong support for Israel and emphasized the importance of standing with the country against any threats or acts \u2064of\u200d aggression. He called on\u2064 Democrats to reconsider their \u200cdecision to boycott \u200cthe address and urged them to\u200c prioritize \u2064the relationship between the United States and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>As protests against Israel continue in Washington, Robinson remains steadfast in his belief that standing with Israel is not a partisan issue, but a matter of upholding the \u2063values of democracy, freedom, and security for all nations. He \u200bconcluded\u2063 by \u2064affirming his commitment to strengthening\u2063 the bond between the United States and Israel and ensuring their mutual security and\u2063 prosperity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mark Robinson blasts Democrats for DC anti-Israel protest ahead of Trump rally<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1712776\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>North Carolina Lt.
