If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you.

I'm for Israel's right to exist.

I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States. We have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play.

In times of peace, just as today in our fight against terror, the United States and Israel stand together.

It's not only in Israel's interest but in America's as well to stand with one of its closest and important allies.

So I think we should stay focused on the real problem in the Middle East. It's not Israel. It's these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping Israel away.

The United States is a strong and ardent ally of Israel. The fact of the matter is that friends can disagree. I think what's important is that world leaders are able to sit down with one another, have frank conversations and move forward.

I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders.

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.

We need to see a Palestinian state.
