I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I will continue to believe that Israel's security is paramount.
It kind of scares me, the notion that we're going to be injecting ourselves into other countries' affairs when they're not posing a threat to our security. I wouldn't be telling Israel what to do.
Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats... policies which choose expansion over security... policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That's not impossible.
America has some capabilities that Israel doesn't have. And Israel cannot place their security in the hands of Barack Obama; they can't do it.
Israel is an independent country with a large army, and it has the ability to do what it thinks is right.
At the end of the day, Americans know that the ones they really can trust, in all the Middle East, it's only Israel.
Israel won't be secure so long as Hamas is in power, and therefore, we need to come to a decision that we will break the will of Hamas to keep fighting.
Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.
There is no prospect that the United States will say to Israel, 'You do such and such and we'll not support you in your security.'
Israel has the power to protect itself and its citizens.
