Lindsey Graham: The Senator Who Lived the American Dream and Loved Israel

The U.S. ambassador to Israel reflects on the life and legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham, who recently passed away. Graham, who grew up in poverty in the South, overcame significant personal challenges, including the death of both his parents by age 21, to become a respected U.S. Senator. He enlisted in the Air Force to support his younger sister, whom he legally adopted, and went on to complete college and law school, serving 33 years in the Air Force Reserves. Graham was known for his strong support of Israel, believing that “Israel’s enemies are America’s enemies,” and advocated for strength in foreign policy. He was also recognized for his ability to work across party lines and his humble demeanor, despite his political success.
