I am a Jew. Those have been the words of the Jewish people for three millennia. Those were the words of the men, women, and children of Massada. Those were the words of the followers of Barcochpa. Those were the words of Jews in 1066 and the Rhineland in 1096. And Chalmenetsky from 1648 to 1657 and Kishinev in 1903 and Chevron in 1929. Those were the words of Jews in Auschwitz and Treblinka.

They will be strong and courageous, Kazakh Viamat, as Joshua said, 3,000 years ago.

Israel is indispensable.

This weekend proved, it is indispensable.

Its presence is a miracle. Its strength,

a gift. Thank God for the state of Israel. There are people who say that anti-Zionism is not

anti-Semitism. Tell that to the dead women and children in Sterot. Tell that to Hamas, who proclaim

in their charter, quote, Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.
