Speaker 0: Were I a Jew, I would be a Zionist. And my father pointed out to me, I did not need to be a Jew to be a Zionist, for I am. Israel is essential to security of Jews worldwide. Speaker 1: That this is not theoretical. This is not just about things that happen on Twitter. Antisemitism kills. Hate kills. Speaker 2: I come before you not only as The United States Secretary of State, but also as a Jew. My grandfather, Maurice Blinken, fled pogroms in Russia.

They perpetrated the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Speaker 5: Holocaust. Holocaust. My grandfather fled Nazi Germany. Fled Nazi Germany.

We don't need sanctions. We need startups. We need startups. They met with several Israeli companies looking to expand into The United States.

Speaker 7: It's about time we stop those of us who support as most of us do, Israel and this body for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None.

We hear the call of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Israel was this place I had always felt an, I don't know, unexplainable pull. Speaker 5: And the Jewish people have been the recipients of boycotts for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Speaker 6: So I just had a frank and constructive meeting with prime minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Speaker 3: Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders. Speaker 9: Why does Israel need our help? We need to get out of their way. Speaker 6: I've said it many times, but it bears repeating. Israel has a right to defend itself. Speaker 2: The message that I bring to Israel is this.

Speaker 9: I was one of the few in congress that said it's none of our business, and Israel should take care of themselves.

At the hands of the Nazis. Speaker 9: Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles, they can take care of themselves. Why should we commit? We don't even have a treaty with Israel. We don't even have a treaty with Israel. Speaker 7: Were there not an Israel, The United States Of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region. Speaker 9: Why why do we have this automatic commitment that we're gonna send our kids and send our money endlessly, to to Israel?

Israel is America's greatest strength in the Middle East. Imagine a world without Israel, how many battleships and troops would be needed? I used to say as a young senator that I would be a Zionist, and I still am. Being a Zionist doesn't require being Jewish.

We should stop apologizing for supporting Israel as it is the best investment we make. If Israel didn't exist, the United States would have to create it to protect its interests in the region. It should be clear that Israel is America's strongest ally in the Middle East.

Supporters of Israel in the Middle East should stop apologizing for their stance, as there is no need for it. The $3 billion investment the United States makes in Israel is highly valuable. In fact, if Israel did not exist, the US would have to create it in order to safeguard its interests in the region.

I don't advocate for America fighting wars for Israel. Israel is capable of defending itself, but if it's pushed to a corner, there's a risk of nuclear conflict. That's why it's crucial for the United States to offer support to Israel.

"The fact is that American Jews support Israel, and I understood that." "every Jewish prime minister that I have known, has enlisted American Jews to bring as much pressure as possible in the political process on American presidents." "That's understandable." "I don't object to it." "But on occasions, for example, an American president must make a decision that does not in effect give the Israelis a blank check." "I decided early on in our administration that we were going to seek good relations with Egypt and other others of Israel's neighbors." "Israel's interests are better served to have The United States a friend of Israel's neighbors and potential enemies and to leave a vacuum which the Soviet Union would fill." "I still believe that and I think that should be American policy today."

The speaker addresses U.S. policy in the Middle East and the posture of those who support Israel, arguing strongly that supporters in the United States should cease apologizing for backing Israel. They assert there is no need for an apology, declaring, “There’s no apology to be made.” This stance frames the U.S. relationship with Israel as clear-cut and essential, offering a provocative justification for continued support. In advocating for unwavering backing, the speaker characterizes U.S. support for Israel as a decisive measure, calling it “the best $3,000,000,000 investment we make.” This claim positions aid to Israel as a strategic expenditure with substantial returns in terms of regional influence and security interests, suggesting that the economic commitment yields significant strategic benefits for the United States in the Middle East. Building on this assertion, the speaker presents a hypothetical scenario to underscore the perceived indispensability of Israel to American interests. They state, “Were there not an Israel, The United States Of America would have to invent an Israel.” This statement implies that, in the absence of an existing state in the region aligned with U.S. interests, Washington would face the dilemma of creating a state in order to protect those interests, highlighting the perceived necessity of having a stable, allied presence in the area. Further reinforcing the argument, the speaker repeats the notion of necessity with a direct formulation: “The United States would have to go out and invent an Israel.” This reiteration emphasizes the belief that Israel serves a critical role in safeguarding American regional objectives, to the extent that its existence is considered indispensable enough to warrant creation if it did not already exist. Across these points, the core message is a vehement defense of sustained U.S. support for Israel, framed as both morally clear (no apology) and practically essential (a valuable investment with strategic weight). The speaker combines a repudiation of criticism with a hypothetical justification for the centrality of Israel to American policy in the Middle East, asserting that Israel’s existence or creation is tied to protecting United States interests in the region.

Israel has sent rescue teams to disaster areas more than any other country, even though we only make up a tiny fraction of the world's population. We are a benefactor to all of humanity. People should not be afraid to call themselves Zionists. I am a Zionist.

Support for Israel in the Middle East should not require an apology. It is seen as a valuable investment, worth $3 billion, and crucial for protecting American interests in the region. In fact, the United States would even create Israel if it didn't exist already.

American Jews support Israel, and Jewish prime ministers have historically enlisted their support to pressure American presidents, which is understandable. Jews prioritize Israel's survival due to the Holocaust and believe that supporting Israel equates to supporting America. However, an American president must prioritize America's interests first. Presidents must avoid giving Israel a blank check. The speaker decided to seek good relations with Egypt and other neighbors of Israel, despite some Israeli friends preferring a special relationship with Israel only. The speaker believed that it better served Israel's interests for the United States to be a friend to Israel's neighbors, preventing a vacuum that the Soviet Union could fill, which the speaker believes should still be American policy today.

The speaker suggests that the United States would have created Israel to safeguard its interests in the region, regardless of its existence in reality. This investment of three billion dollars is considered the most beneficial.

In the Middle East, it's time to stop apologizing for supporting Israel. There's no need for apologies because our support for Israel is a valuable investment of $3 billion. Without Israel, the United States would have to create it to safeguard its interests in the region.

If I were Jewish, I would support Zionism. However, my father made it clear that being Jewish is not a requirement to be a Zionist. Israel plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of Jews all over the world.

In the Middle East, it's time to stop apologizing for supporting Israel. There's no need for apologies because supporting Israel is a valuable investment. The United States sees Israel as essential for protecting its interests in the region. In fact, the United States would even create Israel if it didn't exist.

Joe Biden has received the most money from Israel in US history, both as a senator and during his presidential campaign in 2020. As a senator, he received over $4 million, and as a presidential candidate, he received almost $4 million. Another speaker believes that the $3 billion investment the US makes in Israel is justified and necessary for protecting American interests in the region.

I am an American who greatly admires Great Britain. I believe that an Arab Palestine poses a threat to Britain and the world, while a Jewish Palestine would be beneficial to Britain and a blessing.

I have strong ties to Israel, rooted in my Jewish background. My family fled pogroms in Eastern Europe, and my grandfather's name is Israel. I grew up attending Sunday school as a reformed Jew. I deeply care about Israel's future and do not want to see it harmed.

In the Middle East, it's time to stop apologizing for supporting Israel. There's no need for an apology because supporting Israel is a valuable investment for the United States. If Israel didn't exist, the US would have to create it to protect its interests in the region. Personally, I consider myself a Zionist, even though being Jewish is not a requirement.

Israel is crucial for the United States' interests in the region. Without Israel, the US would need to create it. The US sees Israel as a valuable investment, providing $3 billion annually.

I will always be a strong supporter of Israel, both in the Senate and in my role as a guardian of the Jewish nation. Israel and America share a special bond, and I will continue to stand up for Israel with unwavering dedication and strength. The Jewish nation will endure for eternity.

Investing $3 billion in Israel is the best decision we make. We shouldn't apologize for supporting Israel in this body. It's a crucial investment for the United States. In fact, if Israel didn't exist, the US would have to create it to safeguard its interests in the Middle East.

I grew up in a world centered around politics and Israel. Good morning, APAC. I will meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu today, and President Obama will meet him tomorrow. He once referred to me as the first Jewish president. We must stand up for Israel and the rights of the Jewish people. I could easily be elected prime minister in Israel. When Israel faces anti-Jewish hatred, it is anti-Semitism. I am a Zionist, and we need to support Israel. We are committed to making Israel great again. This is serious; we must save Israel.

I will defend George Washington's vision of religious pluralism and freedom by combating antisemitism and supporting Israel unconditionally. The threats we face, like those from Hamas, remind us of the dangers we could encounter at home. It is our duty to support Israel's efforts against these threats. There is no justification for blocking aid to Israel or easing sanctions on Iran, especially when Congress has approved such aid. I have consistently backed measures to support Israel and have partnered with President Trump in promoting Israeli independence and security, including the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem. Israel represents freedom, Western values, and human potential, embodying the American dream we cherish.

Israel is a critical ally and vital for their survival. Supporting them is crucial, especially with replenishing their defense systems like the Iron Dome. Our assistance helped them defend against recent attacks. It's a symbolic gesture and a biblical duty to stand with Israel. They will prevail as long as we stand by them.

American Jews support Israel, and every Israeli prime minister has sought their help to influence American presidents, which I understand. However, a president must prioritize America's best interests, whether dealing with Israelis, Irish, or any other group. While what's good for America is often good for Israel, a president can't give Israel a blank check. For instance, my administration sought good relations with Egypt and other neighbors of Israel, even though some Israeli friends preferred a special relationship with Israel alone. I believed that it was in Israel's best interests for the United States to be friends with Israel's neighbors and potential enemies, to avoid a vacuum that the Soviet Union would fill. I still believe that should be American policy today.
