The Orthodox Union mourns the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, whose steadfast support for Israel and the Jewish people was a defining feature of his public service. Throughout his years in Congress, he stood firmly with our community and consistently championed the U.S.-Israel relationship. We are proud to have partnered closely with Senator Graham, through the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, on many important policy initiatives including the enactment of the Taylor Force Act. OU Advocacy leaders regularly met with Senator Graham and valued his insight, love for Israel and the Jewish people, and good humor.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and the people of South Carolina during this time of profound loss.

Thinking about how absolutely vile many of you have been to Lindsey Graham during his life—and will continue to be in his death.
Few realize he became an orphan and raised his young sister while he was in college—the first of his family to earn higher education.
He was a good, brilliant, self-deprecating man with consistent principles who leaves a legacy of tirelessly working for the people of South Carolina. Praying for Darline—the sister he raised—and all who loved him.
The Strait of Hormuz is open to all vessels seeking to lawfully transit the international waterway. U.S. forces are positioned and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available despite unwarranted Iranian aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations. Iran does not control the strait. Traffic is flowing.
My absolute favourite Lindsey Graham clip, when in 2010 he asked Justice Elana Kagan during her confirmation hearing where she was on Christmas Day.
You could see his warmth and humility here. He will be so sorely missed ...
Debunking this dawah bro.
"Muslims are only 1% of the USA"
Your point? She said Islam. Not Muslims. Now stop pretending criticism of Islam is criticism of every Muslim.
"The hijab is like a nun's habit"
Nuns aren't murdered for refusing to wear one.
"The Qur'an says 'your religion for you, mine for me.'"
Islam also commands killing apostates, killing polytheists, and fighting Jews & Christians until they submit and are humbled.
"Jizya was just for protection"
Protection from the army demanding you pay it. It was on top of existing taxes. There is multiple examples of when it was more than muslim zakat. Also, it is literally extortion.
"Bilal proves Islam honored slaves."
Bilal was enslaved before Islam, freed, and slavery itself was never abolished.

Lindsey Graham’s tribute to his dear friend Joe Lieberman broke every rule—because laughter was the only way to hide his broken heart. If you’ve never seen this before, it’s mush-watch material 👇🏻👇🏻
Like so many, I’m deeply saddened by the passing of my friend of 25 years, Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey devoted his life to serving our country with conviction, courage, and an unwavering sense of duty. But, importantly, the man behind the public figure was deeply devoted to his family, a kind and generous friend and blessed with a great sense of humor, punctuated by a sharp wit.
While his time on earth has been cut short, he will be remembered by history as a consequential and impactful leader with an enormous heart for America.
Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for a lifetime of service. May God comfort those who love you and may He grant you eternal peace.
