I had the great pleasure of knowing every prime minister since Golda Meir, when I was a young man in the Senate, and I'll never forget talking to her in her office with her assistanta guy named Rabinabout the Six-Day War. The end of the meeting, we get up and walk out, the doors are open, and … the press is taking photos … She looked straight ahead and said, "Senator, don't look so sad … Don't worry. We Jews have a secret weapon."
I thought she was going to tell me something about a nuclear program. She looked straight ahead and she said, "We have no place else to go. We have no place else to go."
Folks, there is no place else to go, and you understand that in your bones. You understand in your bones that no matter how hospitable, no matter how consequential, no matter how engaged, no matter how deeply involved you are in the United States … there's only one guarantee. There is really only one absolute guarantee, and that's the state of Israel.
