Israel: The Holy Land
and America's Greatest Ally

"Our nations are hewn of the same rock. In a world of change and uncertainty, our friendship remains constant."

"Israel is not just a country, it is an idea — an idea of freedom, of democracy, and of unshakable friendship with the United States."

"The bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable."

"If you're wondering what Israel gives to America, it is more than what America gives to Israel."

"America has no better friend than Israel."

"If Israel is destroyed, the Middle East will collapse; if the Middle East collapses, the world's oil supply will be endangered; and if the oil is not flowing, America will suffer."

"The rebirth of Israel is a phenomenon in the history of the human spirit."

"The United States and Israel share a special relationship based on shared values, mutual interests, and enduring friendship."

"Israel was not created in order to disappear — Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave."

"Israel is the front line of democracy in the Middle East. Its security is essential to the security of Americans everywhere."

"The Jews, I find, are very, very selfish. They take no interest in anyone else. Yet if a Jewish community were established in Palestine, the world would be enriched."

"We ourselves shall provide for our own needs, but our fate — that lies in the hands of the great powers, and above all in the hands of our friends across the sea."
