Senator Marco Rubio of Florida spoke on the Senate floor last night. He announced that President Obama was “making a historic mistake.” This mistake is in regards to Obama’s treatment towards Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. He added that although many allies have their differences, the differences between the US and Israel are well-known throughout the world and especially in the Middle-East where some groups of evil people wouldn’t hesitate to destroy Israel. He also said that Israel is a peaceful country and the people of Israel deserve peace after all of the suffering they have had. Rubio finished with saying that they need our support, unconditionally.
This is a good use of argumentation and persuasion by Mr. Rubio. To persuade, you need to provide your audience with facts, which he did. Yesterday, the Obama administration announced that the President had called Netanyahu to congratulate him on reelection and that the US would “reassess” their relationship with Israel.
