On Forbes Newsroom, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) urged the United States to continue to “stand strong” with one of our “most important allies” amidst the Israel-Hamas war.
In response to the attacks on Israel by Hamas, Georgia bought $10 million in bonds from Israel “to support its defense efforts.”
Kemp told Forbes Newsroom his state planned to buy even more, but $10 million was what the market offered.
Kemp also spoke out against the anti-Semitism that has been seen in the wake of the Hamas attack and Israel’s response, as well as the anti-Israel sentiment witnessed on college campuses throughout the U.S. “We are a state that’s too busy to hate,” Kemp said, pointing to anti-hate crimes legislation he signed into law in 2020. “As we saw with Hamas, there are a lot of sick people in this world … and we just have to continue to stand strong in opposition to that, whether it’s people being targeted or acts of war.”
