Quote

I am a Zionist, an ardent supporter of Israel, its defender when I deem Israel to be right and its critic when I deem it to be wrong.

I have been defending Israel's right to exist, and to defend itself against terrorism, for many years-on college campuses, in television appearances and in debate.

I have been, and will remain, outspoken in my insistence that Israel has a right to live in peace and security.

Extol Jewish virtue, modern Zionism and the Israeli Defense Forces.

I've always been supportive of the right of Israel as a state, and I've always fought against anti-Semitism, even in my own community.

I lived through many battles - the 1973, I was young; in 1982 with the Israeli invasions, and 2006 between Hezbollah and Israel. Before I emigrated to the States in '83, I had my own very black and white views of the Israelis and the Jews in general. But you start to understand that no matter what you think, there are two perspectives.

Eventually, I moved from a place of anger toward the Jews of Israel toward a place of embrace.

I'm a supporter of Israel, always have been.

My goal is to embrace the people, the 'natural resources' of Israel, and to build businesses with the creative Israelis.

My conviction is that the best strategy to defend the West is to defend Israel.
