Page 75 - Why Israel?

Our two nations have always stood shoulder-to-shoulder against the tyrants and despots of the world, our mutual love of freedom and equality for all men rooted in our Judeo-Christian heritage. In the age of terrorism, our strategic partnership has been critically important for both countries. With the military aid the US provides Israel to develop its qualitative edge over its enemies, Israel then provides the US with cutting-edge technology and the best foreign intelligence partnership in the world. In every instance, the terrorists who hate Israel and want to destroy the Jewish people also hate America and want to kill Christians. Israel’s enemies are our enemies, and their fight is our fight.
