Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg
Millions of Americans have contributed to building a stronger Israel I've been proud to be one of them. Last year, I went to Jerusalem to help dedicate in my father's name a new MDA medical facility which treats people of all faiths and all nationalities absolutely equally.
Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg
