Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The State of Israel can be proud of what we're doing.
My heart goes out to the brave citizens of Syria, who each day risk and even sacrifice their lives to achieve freedom from a murderous regime. We in Israel welcome the historic struggle to forge democratic, peace-loving governments in our region.
I realized that we have to do everything we can to preserve the Jewish race. I'm very proud of it, and I think it's wonderful.
We will stand up for our friends in the world. And one of the most important friends is the State of Israel. My administration will be steadfast in support Israel against terrorism and violence, and in seeking the peace for which all Israelis pray.
The great question of our day is whether we, the Jewish people of Israel, can find within us the will to survive as a nation.
After a long period of division, I will unite Israel.
Israel is grateful that America believes in us.
The Israeli public's willingness to enlist, the warm embrace for the soldiers and the residents of the south, and the desire to contribute and to give at any given moment really warm the heart, and it gives all of us strength.
We have our own values; we build our own special, our JEWISH life - and we are proud, so very proud.
We need to do everything possible to save the Jewish state. We don't have another Jewish state.
