Throughout our history, the United States
and Israel have developed a mutual friendship that I will do
everything within my power to affirm and foster. Israel shares
the same values for a free and democratic society that we as
Americans hold so dear. Under my leadership, we will work to
protect our mutually shared way of life. We will hold to those
promises that we have already made to Israel and we will look for
new ways of strengthening our alliance.
Israel and the United States share a set of
cultural values which are based in their religious heritage.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Joseph and David,
is also the God we trust. The founders of the United States placed
their faith in God when they founded this nation. It is our shared
belief that each individual has a God-given right to life, liberty,
happiness, and justice that binds our relationship. We will stand
strong for the State of Israel as we, along with nations around the
world, are faced with terrorism, fanatical Muslims and jihad.
As a friend of Israel, we will continue to extend
our economic and military support. We will also work to thwart
any plans or strategies which undermine the sovereign State of
Israel. We will seek to do everything possible to support Israel’s
peaceful resolutions with the Palestinian people.
Israel and the United States will work closely as
allies if I become President.
