The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) presented former President George W. Bush with its highest honor, the America’s Democratic Legacy Award, according to a press release on Friday.

The ADL cited the former president’s inspirational leadership in promoting democratic values worldwide when faced with the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 during one of the most dramatic and consequential periods in American history; his commitment to securing Israeli-Palestinian peace; and his establishment of the United States’ first Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.

“The best Middle Eastern policy starts with an alliance with the only democracy in the Middle East, and that is Israel. … The cornerstone of peace begins with an unshakable US-Israel alliance,” stated Bush.

“We will never forget, Mr. President, how the vision you laid out of ‘two states, living side by side, in peace and security’ still informs our consciousness and our parlance today,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “You solidified an unbreakable affinity between two democracies challenged by extremists and terrorists – and an ironclad shared understanding– that security is one of the most important foundations for peace.”
