American Jews support Israel, and Jewish prime ministers have historically enlisted their support to pressure American presidents, which is understandable. American Jews prioritize Israel's survival due to the Holocaust and believe America's security is directly related to Israel's. They believe that supporting Israel does not mean putting America second. However, an American president must prioritize what is best for America, whether dealing with Israelis, Irish, or other groups. Usually, what benefits America also benefits Israel, and vice versa. But sometimes, a president must avoid giving Israel a blank check. One example is the decision to seek good relations with Egypt and other neighbors of Israel. Some Israeli friends preferred a special relationship with Israel only. However, it is better for the U.S. to be a friend to Israel's neighbors, rather than allowing a vacuum to be filled by a country such as the Soviet Union.

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.

Senator Schumer, once loyal to Israel and Jewish people, is now likened to a Palestinian for political gain, confusing many.

Senator Obama, a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, has a diverse background. He was born in Hawaii, raised in New York, and educated at Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Throughout his career, he has been involved in various roles such as a church-based organizer, constitutional law teacher, and civil rights lawyer. He also served in the Illinois State Senate before being elected to the United States Senate in 2004. Senator Obama has consistently emphasized the influence of family and faith in shaping his commitment to public service.

Speaker 0 expresses a view on religion and national character, saying: “if a country doesn't have religion, doesn't have faith, doesn't have God, it's gonna be very hard to be a good country.” He adds, “This It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians.” He states, “I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian.” He admits doubt about heaven: “I don't think there's anything gonna get me in heaven. Okay? I really don't. I think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly an air force, but I'm not sure I I'm gonna be able to make heaven.” He claims to have been “really saved” by “somebody very special,” and repeats: “A high beak. A high beak. A high beak.” Speaker 1 recounts the presidential oath ceremony: “When US President Donald Trump took its oath of office, he had his right hand raised, but his left wasn't on the Bible. But does it matter? Academics tell Reuters that it was an oversight and it doesn't have much practical impact, although the moment has gone viral online.” A professor is quoted that “the oath is to the constitution.” He notes that “Two bibles were held by Trump's wife Melania as she stood next to him at the ceremony.” Speaker 2 presents claims about Trump’s faith: “Trump converted to Judaism two years ago and joined Chabad Lubavitch Synagogue in New York City according to a high level White House official.” A figure named Mister Goldberg says the story has allegedly been held by CNN's editors for months, but will be released soon. David Elias Goldberg, a fellow at the Jewish Center of Antisemitic Study, has also interviewed the White House source. The source says Trump was pushed by Ivanka and Jared Kushner to join the faith; Trump initially resisted, fearing it would threaten his evangelical Christian base, but then changed his mind and “officially converted in early two thousand seventeen.” The ceremony was private and guarded for nearly two years. The White House appears prepared to release this information gradually, and by summer, Trump is expected to address his new faith in an evening televised news conference. He is described as “the most pro Israel president in the history of America,” having given Israel “every single thing that they wanted,” and being “about to give them war with Iran.” The question is raised: “Has he converted?” A Times of Israel article is cited: “Trump, the first Jewish president of The United States.” It is emphasized: “Now that's not us saying that. That's times of Israel.” The discussion notes that Times of Israel is a Jewish nation, and that “these people do like Israel.” Speaker 0 interjects: “Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.” Speaker 3 adds: “And he loves Israel too. Six years ago, I was up here. And I said, this is our first Jewish president. This is our first Jewish president. This is our first Jewish president. Not not consecutive. We”—and then Speaker 0 closes with: “thank you for everything, Joel. We thank you for everything.”

Let me explain something about what is called the Jewish lobby in this country. Their belief is that being for Israel first, that that does not mean you're putting America second. An American president, however, has to approach it in a different way in my opinion. He's got always to think first of what is best for America. An American president must make a decision that does not in effect give the Israelis a blank check. And one example of that is a decision that I made. I decided early on in our administration that we were going to seek good relations with Egypt and other others of Israel's neighbors. Many of my Israeli friends didn't like that because they wanted a special relationship with Israel and Israel only.

Donald Trump converted to Judaism two years ago at a Chabad Lubavitch Synagogue in NYC, pushed by Ivanka and Jared Kushner. The news is set to be released soon. He was initially hesitant due to his Christian voter base but changed his mind in 2017. Trump is expected to address his new faith in a televised news conference by summer. He is seen as the most pro-Israel president, fulfilling various pro-Israel actions. The Times of Israel even called him the first Jewish president of the US based on his support for Israel.

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.

Jews are influential worldwide because it is God's will, as stated in the Torah. Despite being a small community compared to America, Jews are prominent in various fields, including politics. They hold key positions in the administrations of Trump, Biden, and Obama, representing different Jewish denominations.

The Jewish lobby in the United States has significant influence, sometimes even counterproductive to Israel's interests. They exert pressure on various individuals and institutions, which may ultimately harm Israel. The president pays attention to this lobby due to its strength and control over numerous sectors, including media and finance.

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.

It is an honor to be with the first Jewish president of The United States, and if he isn't, he should be.

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.

As president of The United States, I will always support Jewish Americans and I was always I will always be a friend and a champion to the Jewish people. I have been and I will say, you know, if you go back ten, twelve, fifteen years ago at the most, the strongest lobby in Washington was the Jewish lobby. It was Israel. That's no longer true. You have to be very careful. You have a congress in particular, which is becoming anti Semitic. You have AOC plus three. You have those people. Ilhan Omar, she hates Jewish people. And you have to be very careful because there's been a big change. You know, if you go back fifteen years ago, I'm not Jewish, but my father was very friendly with many, many Jewish people. He was honored by federation. I would go with him to federation of Jewish philanthropies and many other things. And, we grew up respecting and loving Jewish people. You know, you don't even think about it, in Brooklyn, in Queens mostly. And my father didn't go to Manhattan. He never went to Manhattan from the standpoint. He could never understand how in Brooklyn you could buy a piece of land for $3 a foot and how in Manhattan you had to pay a thousand dollars a foot. He said, I can't get that. I don't like it. I like to buy it for 3. So it was different. It's a different thinking. In a way, I'm glad he didn't do that because he let me have some of that fun. And it was I had a lot of fun in Manhattan. We did great. But my father would tell me the most powerful lobby that there is in this country is the Jewish lobby. It's the Israeli lobby. It's not that way anymore. You have a lot of people in your way. You have a lot of people that, don't wanna help Israel. You have a lot of people in congress that don't like Israel. You have a lot of people in congress that, in a way, I think, Mike, we could say it. Right? You're there. You're doing an amazing job, Mike Lawlor. You they hate they hate Israel. They hate Israel. And if you would have told me fifteen years ago that that was possible, Jason, I would have said there's no way. There's no way that's possible. But it's happening. And, obviously, it's getting progressively worse. Less so in the Senate, but the Senate's starting also. You get glimmers, you know, when I'm in the back rooms talking to people. You get glimmers of statements that you say, woah, where did that come from? So we have to be, Sid, we have to be very careful because it's bad things are happening. And then you see what goes on in Australia or October 7. How about October 7? And then you have people that deny it ever happened. How about the people that deny like, they deny the Holocaust, but, you know, you figure, well, that's just many years. Well, October 7 is not many years at all. And you have people that deny October's I saw tape that I wish I never saw it, actually. I wish I never saw it. I got to see tape that some of you got to see. But as president, I got to see things I wish I never saw. But there's no denying it. But then they'll say, oh, the tape was a rigged tape. It was a tape that never existed. They made it up. It's just propaganda. I don't know if they believe it. I don't think they believe it, but you have to be very, very careful. Bad things are happening, and we're not gonna let that happen. Well, I'm president and the DOJ and Harmeet, we're not we're not gonna let it happen. But please, please be vigilant and careful because you have some bad people that, are now in congress that were unthinkable unthinkable to be in congress twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago, fifteen years ago.

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.

To get into government, one faces headwinds if they oppose the US-Israel relationship, in both appointed and elected positions. The Israel lobby has incredible power over government decisions. Questioning Israeli government policies leads to accusations of antisemitism, which is unique. There are legitimate concerns about antisemitism on college campuses.

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.

The discussion centers on how politicization of intelligence has manifested in different eras, comparing past and present administrations. Speaker 0 asks whether the politicized weapons claims about Iraq and the CIA’s statements in the 1990s can be compared to today’s politicization of intelligence under John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard as head of DNI, arguing it is much worse now because of the mediocrity of those in control of key agencies. Speaker 1 counters by recalling the 1980s, noting that there was significant politicization of the Soviet threat to justify Reagan’s defense buildup, and adds that this is why he testified against Robert Gates in 1991. He asserts that politicization is bad, and insists that the current situation is worse than in the past. Speaker 1 explains: “It’s Because I look at the people who are ahead of these groups. Come on. Let’s be serious.” He targets the leadership of the director of national intelligence, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the CIA, saying, “Have you ever seen a cabinet in The United States of such mediocrity, of such venality?” He emphasizes his background, stating, “I haven’t,” and that nothing compares to what is going on now, warning that “a lot of damage is being done to The United States and to the constitution of The United States and to the importance of separation of powers and the importance of rule of law and the importance of checks and balances. This is very serious stuff.” Speaker 0 attempts to steer toward historical figures like Robert Maxwell, but Speaker 1 dismisses that concern as off point, insisting he is making a point about Israel. The exchange then shifts to U.S. support for Israel, with Speaker 1 asserting that “Israel gets what it wants from The United States. It gets it from democratic presidents and from republican presidents.” He also criticizes Barack Obama for signing what he calls “that ten year $40,000,000,000 arms aid agreement,” arguing that Obama “never should have signed” it “because they treated Obama so shabbily in the first place.”

Jews prioritize Israel's survival due to the Holocaust and believe America's security is directly related to Israel's. They think supporting Israel first does not mean putting America second. However, an American president must prioritize what is best for America, whether it concerns Israelis, the Irish, or others. Usually, what benefits America also benefits Israel, and vice versa.

This should be American policy today.

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.

Jews are believed to have a significant influence in the world, as it is written in the Torah. Despite being a small community compared to the American population, Jews are present in various fields such as politics, including support for Trump and Biden. This pattern has been observed throughout history in different countries.

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.
