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 our strongest and most strategic ally in The Middle East, and our commitment to this partnership should be unwavering. In a region where political and economic freedom are rare and violent Islamic extremism is rampant, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an ardent defender of the shared Israeli American values of liberty and freedom. I'm disappointed that Democrats are seeking to turn his visit into a political stunt and are boycotting his historic visit to Congress. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I are both genuinely concerned critics of Iran's dangerous nuclear program, one which seeks to further destabilize the Middle East and threatens Israel, The United States, and the rest of the free world. I will continue to stand with Israel and oppose the lifting of sanctions on Iran. God bless you, and God bless America.

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.

You don't rape Jewish women, decapitate Jewish babies, and execute Jewish men, and think you're gonna get away for it. You're not gonna get away. As Israel has demonstrated, you're gonna die for it. And that's exactly what you deserve. And that's my view. The way you treat other human beings, these are subhuman monsters. That's what they are. They're called terrorists. It doesn't even seem to matter anymore. Oh, Hamas. Sounds like a food. Oh, man, pass the Hamas. No, I don't think so. No other country in the world, none, is gonna tell Israel what to do, how to defend itself and its people. Period.

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.

"If Bibi Netanyahu, if he does something I don't like and if I criticize it, am I, like, a bad Christian? Absolutely not." "What I find strange is that we're able to criticize the American government sometimes in the Christian world with more freedom than the Israeli government." "To be pro Israel means you believe in the nation of Israel Mhmm. Not necessarily the government of Israel." "When you when Joe Biden was president, you and I were what we loved America, but we detested our government." "If they challenge a foreign government, which is what happens so often. Right. Like you're a bad Christian if you have a question about a foreign government." "Right. That creates backlash that I don't think people understand."

If Bibi Netanyahu does something I don't like and I criticize it, am I a bad Christian? Absolutely not. What I find strange is that we can criticize the American government sometimes in the Christian world with more freedom than the Israeli government. To be pro Israel means you believe in the nation of Israel Mhmm. Not necessarily the government of Israel. When Joe Biden was president, you and I were what we loved America, but we detested our government. You never you never once said, hey. I'm I'm out on America. And what they don't want is they don't wanna be called bad Christians Mhmm. If they challenge a foreign government, which is what happens so often. That creates backlash that I don't think people understand.

If Bibi Netanyahu, if he does something I don't like and if I criticize it, am I, like, a bad Christian? Absolutely not. What I find strange is that we're able to criticize the American government sometimes in the Christian world with more freedom than the Israeli government. To be pro Israel means you believe in the nation of Israel Mhmm. Not necessarily the government of Israel. When you when Joe Biden was president, you and I were what we loved America, but we detested our government. And those two those two things beautifully coexisted. And what they don't want is they don't wanna be called bad Christians Mhmm. If they challenge a foreign government, which is what happens so often. Right. Like you're a bad Christian if you have a question about a foreign government. Right. That creates backlash that I don't think people understand.

Like you're a bad Christian if you have a question about a foreign government." "Right. That creates backlash that I don't think people understand."

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.

I walk with my husband, Michael, and hold hands. It's like a whole new world for me. Just walking and holding hands. Some that one of our fellow Americans for years could not do. What kind of shit is that? As you said, Americans see Israel as a reliable and stable ally in the Middle East. We share common values, defend common interests, and face common enemies. Iran sees us as one and the same, and they're right. We are together. In the Middle East today, it is clear that Israel and America stand united.

"If Bibi Netanyahu, if he does something I don't like and if I criticize it, am I, like, a bad Christian? Absolutely not." "What I find strange is that we're able to criticize the American government sometimes in the Christian world with more freedom than the Israeli government."

"And what they don't want is they don't wanna be called bad Christians Mhmm." "If they challenge a foreign government, which is what happens so often. Right. Like you're a bad Christian if you have a question about a foreign government."

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 a democracy surrounded by people who would cut their throats if they could. 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. That's ridiculous. Israel is not the bad guy. They're the good guy. The bad guys are the radical Islamists who would kill everybody in this room if they could. When it comes to foreign policy, president Trump has stood up for all the right things, and he stood up against wrong things just like Reagan.

Speaker 0: They say Israel is the only place where we're respected and protected. Speaker 1: I can attest to that. I went to Israel, spent two weeks there with the church, and we had an incredible time. We had only one incident where a small child spit on one of the pastors and immediately after, there was an adult that came by and said, "That's not a representation of who we are. You know, we love you guys." "You guys are always welcome here." And I have to say, no adults gave us any grief. We had no issues whatsoever in our experience there. It was actually an amazing

And I can tell you, there is overwhelming, overwhelming bipartisan support in our congress for Israel's security. The United States has Israel's back. This is not just about things that happen on Twitter. Antisemitism kills. Hate kills.

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.

"If Bibi Netanyahu, if he does something I don't like and if I criticize it, am I, like, a bad Christian? Absolutely not." "What I find strange is that we're able to criticize the American government sometimes in the Christian world with more freedom than the Israeli government."

That creates backlash that I don't think people understand."

"Israel is isolated." "Israel can't break out of the season." "We will." "Yes, we can." "We're pretty good at producing weapons." "We share intelligence with The United States." "A good chunk of your intel and our weapon systems." "We are tremendously appreciative of the bipartisan support in military matters to Israel in previous years and today as well." "You're holding a piece of Israel right there." "it's an Israeli product as there are so many other things." "This serves the betterment of for the betterment of all mankind and womankind." "We can make things." "We cherish the fact that we have the constancy of American support despite the attempts to erode it, and we'll continue to work to make sure that that continues on both sides of the aisle." "But equally, we will eventually create the independence that we need so those in Western Europe who think they can deny us things will not succeed." "We can break this siege, and we will."

"I just said this in another meeting and they said, oh, Israel is isolated. Israel can't break out of the season." "Yes, we can." "We're pretty good at producing weapons." "Like intelligence, we share both with The United States." "A good chunk a good chunk of your intel and our weapon systems." "We're tremendously appreciative of the bipartisan support and military matters to Israel in previous years and today as well." "But do you have cell phones? Any you have cell phones here? No." "You're holding a piece of Israel right there." "You know where that was made? I don't like cherry tomatoes, but it's an Israeli what can I do? It's an Israeli product, as are so many other things." "I think that is Israel's unknown contribution." "We can break this siege, and we will."

Israel is in a fight for their lives. 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. And that's the big difference, folks. Israel is our friend—the most reliable friend we have in the Mideast—a democracy surrounded by people who would cut their throats if they could. A word of warning: if America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. President Trump has stood with Israel at the most difficult time since his founding; 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 bad guys are the radical Islamists who would kill everybody in this room if they could.

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 was once asked why evangelical Christians are so supportive of Jewish people and Israel. The answer is simple: you can be Jewish and have nothing to do with Christians, but I can't be Christian and not have everything to do with the Jewish people. My faith, scriptures, and everything I believe is built on that foundation. We are people of the book. If you read in Genesis that God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel, it becomes very clear.

Since October 7, Israel's enemies have learned a hard truth: those who attack us pay a heavy price, but those who partner with us advance progress and security for their peoples. President Trump just said it, and it's also in the Bible. It says those who will bless you will be blessed, and those who will curse you will be cursed. And that's actually what is happening. We want the blessings. I think we've done a lot in the past two years to end the curse. We're not finished, but we've done a lot. And we've done a lot together.

Our nations, the United States and Israel, share a strong bond as we both strive to do good and be strong.

The speaker recalls decades of presidents promising action under heavy pressure, asserting that he did not yield to that pressure and kept his promise by officially recognizing the capital of Israel and moving the American embassy to Jerusalem. He credits this achievement as part of what he intended to fulfill in office. Turning to the Adelsons in the audience, he highlights Miriam Adelson and her husband, Sheldon Adelson, noting their frequent visits to the White House; he says they would come into the office and call him, suggesting they had more trips to the White House than anyone else he could think of. He contrasts Sheldon's aggressive personality with his own regard for him, stating that Sheldon was very aggressive but very supportive of him, and that, despite the occasional pushback, he valued their input. He acknowledges that Miriam and Sheldon were very responsible for much, including influencing him to consider the Golan Heights, which he characterizes as probably one of the greatest things to ever happen. The speaker then invites Miriam to stand, praising her: she loves the United States and Israel, and he notes that she loves this country. He emphasizes that Miriam and her husband are incredible people and expresses that they are dearly missed. He shares a moment when he asked Miriam what she loved more, the United States or Israel, and she refused to answer, implying that her love might be for Israel as well. He comments that perhaps that refusal indicates Israel, and he reinforces his affection for Miriam by saying, “We love you,” and thanking her for being there as a great honor. He closes by affirming Miriam as a wonderful woman and expressing gratitude for her presence, underscoring the admiration he holds for Miriam Adelson and the late Sheldon Adelson as influential supporters who played a significant role in shaping his perspective on the Golan Heights and, more broadly, in his presidency.
