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. My stepfather, Samuel Pizar, survived concentration camps, Auschwitz, Dachau, Maidanic. Speaker 3: We have a common agenda to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and preventing Iran's aggression, maintaining the security and prosperity of this region, and seeking to expand the circle of peace. Speaker 4: On October 7, Hamas terrorists murdered nearly 1,200 people, including over 40 Americans, and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. They perpetrated the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Speaker 5: Holocaust. Holocaust. My grandfather fled Nazi Germany. Fled Nazi Germany. If we wanna create peace in the Middle East, resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, we don't need boycotts. We need business. We don't need divestment. We need investment. 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 1: Actual, literal, no shit, Jews will not replace us anti Semites as very fine people. Speaker 6: I support Israel's ability to defend itself. 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. It is the best $3,000,000,000 investment we make. $3,000,000,000 investment we make. Speaker 8: two of us were brought together by Apex Education Foundation for a mission to Israel. 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. You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself, but as long as America exists, you will never ever have to. We will always be there by your side. Speaker 1: He is a friend of the Jewish people by aligning not even with Israel, but with a certain kind of politics within Israel. And I just think that the American Jewish community are a lot smarter than that. Speaker 7: And even suggested breaking from the long standing US policies on settlements. Jerusalem. Jerusalem. 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. Speaker 8: Perhaps he does not know that I am the child of a holocaust survivor. Perhaps he does not know that my mother lost almost all her family at the hands of the Nazis. 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.

So right now, as we speak tonight, there are two THAAD missile batteries in Israel. That's one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries. They are American military personnel, and they are manning these batteries to protect Israel. And that shouldn't surprise you because since 10/07/2023, which is a little less than two years ago, The United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel. Israel is by far, no one comes close, the largest recipient of USAID over time and currently. They don't know how disproportionate our attention to Israel and our spending on Israel is relative to the rest of the world.

Israel is a critical ally and vital for their existence. Supporting them is important, especially with replenishing their defense systems like the Iron Dome. Our assistance helped them defend against recent attacks. This support is crucial, and most Americans understand its significance. Translation: Supporting Israel is crucial for their survival, especially with replenishing their defense systems like the Iron Dome. Our assistance helped them defend against recent attacks, and most Americans recognize the importance of this support.

Israel receives significant economic and military aid from the US, even when it takes actions that the US opposes. The usual explanation for this support is that Israel is a strategic asset and a democracy that shares American values. However, these arguments do not fully justify the extent of aid provided. While Israel is a democracy, its treatment of Arabs and its colonization of the West Bank contradict American values. The historical case for Israel's existence based on anti-Semitism does not warrant unconditional support. The main reason for Israel's privileged position is believed to be the influence of the Israel lobby.

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.

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.

It's late at night. Israel is in a fight for their lives. Our friends in Israel are surrounded by people who would kill them all if they could. I am tired of the word genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could. They have the capability to do that. They choose not to. Hamas, they would commit genocide in thirty seconds. They just can't. Israel is our friend. They're the most reliable friend we have in the Mideast. A word of warning, if America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. October 7 was an effort to destroy the state of Israel, the largest loss of Jewish life since the holocaust. and here we are almost two years later, and Israel's the bad guy.

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.

The U.S. has contributed more to Israel's defense budget than Israel itself in the last three years. This year, the U.S. gave nearly $3.1 billion to Israel, making it the top recipient of American foreign aid. This occurs while many Americans struggle with finances, senior citizens can't afford medications, veterans are underserved, and schools are closing. Israel ranks among the top 30 richest countries, yet receives a large lump sum of aid upfront, allowing it to accumulate interest while the U.S. pays interest on the borrowed money. Additionally, the U.S. gives billions to Egypt and Jordan to discourage them from opposing Israeli policies, adding to the financial burden. With presidential elections approaching and promises to cut spending to address the $16 trillion debt, some argue the U.S. should prioritize its own needs.

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.

It is not in the U.S.'s or Israel's interest to get involved in another major war in the Middle East. It's false to say that when Israel was attacked, America was attacked. Adopting that mentality leads to situations like Iraq. The U.S. shouldn't put boots on the ground in Israel, and many Israelis agree. The U.S. is limited in how it can support Israel right now due to resources given to Ukraine and military drawdown after twenty years of war. The U.S. drew down artillery prepositioned in Israel and gave it to Ukraine, and it will take years to rebuild the capacity to adequately support partners like Israel and Ukraine while preparing for a potential conflict with China. Israel is going to need a lot of artillery shells just like Ukraine does. Early in the Ukraine war, Israel was attacked for taking a neutral stance and resisting pressure to send its Iron Dome to Ukraine. Had Israel caved, more Israelis would have died. Israel deserves credit for prioritizing the safety of its citizens.

I will always support Israel, even if they commit war crimes or genocide. Israel is our ally and will always be our ally. The Jewish state will exist forever. I will never support the Palestinians. Goodbye to Palestine. God bless.

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.

As a young senator, I expressed my support for Zionism, stating that even if I were not Jewish, I would still be a Zionist. I believe that Israel is crucial for protecting American interests in the Middle East, and it is the best investment we make, amounting to $3 billion. Without Israel, our presence in the region would require more battleships and troops. My father also taught me that being Jewish is not a prerequisite for being a Zionist.

The US unconditionally supports Israel with weapons, money, and diplomatic backing, unlike any other country relationship. This support is not solely strategic but driven by the powerful Israel lobby influencing US foreign policy to benefit Israel. The lobby's success in ensuring unwavering US support for Israel is remarkable.

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.

More trouble, no one has caused more harm, no one has caused more wars in my lifetime than Israel. Israel is not our ally. At this point, they are our enemy. They take money from us. They incriminate us to the whole world. They implicate us in their immoral war crimes. No one has hurt this country more than Israel has. Israel is our top enemy. Enemy.

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.

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.

We should not be spending money to support Israel. Our aid should not be going towards building a fort for them. We need to focus on our own interests and not waste resources on humanitarian aid.

The speaker asks how much support the U.S. gives to Israel. The response is approximately $3 billion a year in military assistance. It is asserted that this military assistance is the only assistance Israel receives from the U.S. There is a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the $3 billion annual amount.
