My fellow Floridians. I would like to explain Israel and Gaza in terms most Floridians can understand.
First, Israel.
Look at a map of Florida. Look at the Gulf coast. Now take a section of the Gulf coast that includes these counties: Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Sumter, Levy, Dixie, Gilchrist, and the western fifth of Marion. Now into that area put 2/5 the population of Florida with 1/3 the GDP. That's Israel.
Now consider again Pinellas County. Draw a line up the map from the Skyway north along the eastern shore of Lake Tarpon to the county line. Look at the land area to the west of that line. Into that area put 2.5 times the population of the county with half the GDP. That's Gaza.
This is the area around which the United States is bending our entire foreign policy.
