I wrote a book in 1995, and I said that if it if the West doesn't wake up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam, the next thing you'll see is uh the militant Islam is bringing down the World Trade Center.
Nations, democracies don't go to war easily, and they usually debate and argue uh before they do.
Sometimes they have to be bombed into going to war.
In fact, that's what happened in World War II.
All of Europe had been conquered.
You had to uh America was actually bombed in Pearl Harbor, and that was a pivotal event that opened the eyes of Americans, and once their eyes were opened, they gathered the power that is available in this great free nation, and uh the result was preordained.
Uh I think in a in a similar way, the bombing of September 11th opened the eyes of uh Americans to see the great conflict and the great danger that faces us, and once opened, then the the overpowering uh uh will of the majority of the people of the United States of the steamroller is uh inexorably moving to to decide this battle.
And this uh I think has been a wake-up call from Hill.
It is telling us you have the power now to act, summon the will, because the terrorists have the will to destroy America, to destroy freedom, to destroy all of America's allies and all the democracies, Israel being simply on the front line.
There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons.
No question whatsoever.
If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region.
Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly said the September 11th attacks have been good for Israel.
Netanyahu said, quote, we're benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq.
Thank you.
Unlike America, uh Israel seems to be able to fight war is very quickly.
What is your secret?
Because we don't seem to have the hang of that.
The secret is that we have America.
The secret is that we have to do it.
I'm opposed to wasting our military in the Middle East.
I'm opposed to wasting our military in the Middle East.
On behalf of Zionist Israel.
Thank you.
All right, well, let me just tell you that Israel is a very, very important ally of the United States.
And we are going to protect them 100%.
100%.
They've been our most reliable.
Uh it's our true friend over there, and we're going to protect Israel 100%.
I really feel our country has lost its uh footing.
It's uh we have a co-country that works with us.
It has a State Department here, it's called APAC, and they tell us what they want.
And I think that they, because they're a nuclear lobby.
And they I love Israel.
I love Israel.
I've been with Israel so long in terms of I've received some of my greatest honors from Israel, and based on every state.
And I've heard out of any republic in the last two years, the Israelis are controlling our government.
I love Israel and honor and respect the Jewish faith and tradition.
My name is Donald Trump, and I'm a big fan of Israel.
The bond between the United States and Israel is absolutely totally Unbreakable.
My administration will stand side by side with the Jewish people and Israel's leaders to continue strengthening the bridges that connect not only Jewish Americans and Israelis, but also all Americans and Israelis.
My daughter Ivanka is about to have a beautiful Jewish baby.
America is on the side of Israel to send any other message than our unwavering support.
My love for Israel as a Bible-believing Christian, raised in the heartland of this country, is very typical.
Donald Trump and I stand with Israel because Israel's fight is our fight.
Because Israel's cause is our cause.
We stand with Israel because her cause is just, because her values are our values, and because her fate is our fate.
As I've said for so many years, Israel is our most cherished ally in the world.
I've known the president and I've known his family and his team for a long time.
And there is no greater supporter of the Jewish people and the Jewish state than President Donald Trump.
