The security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.
Henry A. Kissinger

The State of Israel has faced obstacles and challenges to its very survival, with conventional military attacks leading the way to suicide bombers who have killed innocent Israeli men, women, and children.
Jerry Costello

The state of Israel must, from time to time, prove clearly that it is strong, and able and willing to use force, in a devastating and highly effective way. If it does not prove this, it will be swallowed up, and perhaps wiped off the face of the earth.
Moshe Sharett

The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.
Yitzhak Rabin

The truth about Hamas and Islamic Jihad is that they don't prevent Israel from existing or even flourishing, they prevent Palestine from coming into existence.
Michael Medved

The U.S. and Israel probably lead the way in terms of venture investment in technologies companies focused on the security paradigm. That is quite encouraging.
John W. Thompson

The United States and Israel have a unique relationship based on our mutual commitment to democracy, freedom, and peace. Therefore, just as our commitment to these principles must be steadfast, so must our support for Israel.
John Boehner

Then the administration tied it in to the regional dispute between Israel and its enemies, as if that's about international terrorism. No, it's not.
Chris Matthews

Emile Lahoud

There are plenty of opportunities for common grounds that we need to explore and strengthen. The Hispanic community has a strong affinity for our relationship with Israel.
Robert Menendez

There is little doubt that Iran is on a mission to rebuild its nuclear weapons and use that capability to wreak havoc and destruction on Israel and others throughout the world.
Russ Carnahan

There is no truth which the prophets press more steadily upon Israel than that all their national life lies in the sight and on the care of God.
George A. Smith

There's no preventative measure between the Palestinians, between those terrorists to the state of Israel.
Silvan Shalom

This resolution simply says Israel has the right to defend itself. This includes conducting operations both inside its borders and in the territory of nations that threaten it, which is in accordance with international law.
John Boehner

Those who liberated the South from Israel must show allegiance to Lebanon.
Walid Jumblatt

Through these adversities, Israel has endured with continued strength, conviction, and faith.
Jerry Costello

Too often in the past, U.S. leaders have forced Israel to pay the price for American strategic interests in the Middle East - through concessions in the peace process as well as passivity in the face of Iraqi attacks.
Ron Silver

Under Hitler it was the entrepreneurial and professional classes who were the first victims of Nazi boycotts and exclusion. Today it is Israel, the most powerful symbol of Jewish national resurgence in two millennia.
Jack Schwartz

Unprovoked attacks on Israel's borders, murdering Israeli soldiers, taking Israeli hostages and showering rockets targeting and killing Israeli civilians are not furthering any legitimate goal.
Alcee Hastings

Until 1956, America treated Israel not much differently from other friendly states.
George Ball
