Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Israel is a piece of real estate that neither Jew or Arab will let go of; neither will leave these shores. And so they will have to learn to live together.
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. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.
There is an alliance between Israel and the United States, and it has never been stronger than at the time of George W. Bush.
Israel sees the world just beyond its borders collapsing.
Israel fits into the zeitgeist of our era. It is true that there are demographic threats to its existence. That is why a separation from the Palestinians is a compelling imperative.
Israel is now sustaining a war for its own existence. A nation defending its citizens against terrorist bombings and a military and diplomatic onslaught by an array of Arab foes is practicing survival, not genocide.
Just as we rely on Israel as a continual source of inspiration and renewal, Israel relies on us.
Israel's relations with the United States are a cornerstone, and without them, we cannot make our way in the current global climate.
Israel has been absent for many years from entire regions in the world.
Each and every day, Israel remains on the frontline along with the United States in the War on Terror and is nothing but an unabashed ally of pro-democratic and pro-American policy.
