00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
I DID MORE FUNDRAISERS FOR AIPAC

ANYBODY.

WE WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT.

SOME OF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME AND

110
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000

116
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000

YOU HAVE GOT TO KEEP RAISING IT.

119
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE

120
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
STOOD SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER A
LOT OF US, ON THE AUDITORIUM,

121
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
DEFENDING THE LEGITIMATE

122
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
INTERESTS OF ISRAEL AND OUR

124
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
LAST FOUR YEARS.

125
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
MANY OF YOU IN THIS HALL -- I

126
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
WON'T START TO NAME THEM, BUT

127
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
MANY OF YOU IN THIS HALL

128
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
STARTING WITH ANNETTE LANTOS'

129
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
HUSBAND, WHO IS NOT HERE, GOD

130
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
REST HIS SOUL -- MANY OF YOU IN

131
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
THIS HALL HAVE BEEN MY TEACHERS,

132
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
MY MENTORS, AND MY EDUCATORS

133
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
AND THAT IS NOT HYPERBOLE.

134
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
YOU LITERALLY HAVE BEEN, BUT MY

135
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
EDUCATION STARTED, AS SOME OF

136
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
YOU KNOW, AT MY FATHER'S DINNER

137
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
TABLE.
MY FATHER IS WHAT YOU WOULD

138
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
HAVE CALLED A RIGHTEOUS

139
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
CHRISTIAN.
WE GATHERED AT MY DINNER TABLE

140
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
TO HAVE CONVERSATION AND

141
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
INCIDENTALLY, EAT, AS WE WERE

142
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000
GROWING UP.

143
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
IT WAS AT THAT TABLE I FIRST

144
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
HEARD THE PHRASE IT IS OVERUSED

145
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
SOMETIMES TODAY, BUT IN A SENSE

146
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
NOT USED MEANINGFULLY ENOUGH

147
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
FIRST I HEARD THE PHRASE "NEVER

148
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
AGAIN."

149
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
IT WAS THAT TABLE THAT I LEARNED

150
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
THAT THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE

151
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
THAT IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

152
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
WAS THE ESTABLISHMENT AND

153
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
EXISTENCE OF A SECURE JEWISH

154
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000
STATE OF ISRAEL.

155
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
[APPLAUSE]
I REMEMBER MY FATHER A

156
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
CHRISTIAN, BEING BAFFLED AT THE

157
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
DEBATE TAKING PLACE AT THE END

158
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
OF WORLD WAR II, TALKING ABOUT

159
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,000
IT -- I DON'T REMEMBER IT AT

160
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
COULD BE A DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER

161
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
OR NOT, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
OF WHETHER OR NOT TO ESTABLISH

162
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

163
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
MY FATHER WOULD SAY, WERE HE A

164
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000
JEW, HE WOULD NEVER, NEVER
ENTRUST THE SECURITY OF HIS

165
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
PEOPLE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL NATION,

166
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
NO MATTER HOW GOOD AND HOW NOBLE

167
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
IT WAS, LIKE THE UNITED STATES.
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S REAL

168
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW ONE

169
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
THING -- WITH SOME OF YOU -- I

170
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
HAVE MET WITH A LOT OF YOU OVER

171
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
THE LAST 40 YEARS, BUT THE LAST

172
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
FOUR YEARS AS WELL, PRESIDENT

173
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
OBAMA SHARES MY COMMITMENT.

174
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
WE BOTH KNOW THAT ISRAEL FACES

175
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
NEW THREATS, NEW PRESSURES AND

176
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
UNCERTAINTY.
THE DEFENSE MINISTER AND I HAVE

177
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
DISCUSSED IT OFTEN.

178
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
IN THE AREA OF NATIONAL

179
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
SECURITY, THE THREATS TO

180
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
ISRAEL'S EXISTENCE CONTINUE

181
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
BUT THEY HAVE CHANGED AS THE

182
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
WORLD AND THE REGION HAVE

183
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
CHANGED OVER THE LAST DECADE.

184
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
THE ARAB SPRING, AT ONCE FULL OF

185
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
BOTH HOPE AND UNCERTAINTY, HAS

186
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
REQUIRED ISRAEL AND THE UNITED

187
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
STATES TO REASSESS OLD AND

188
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
SETTLED RELATIONSHIPS.
IRAN'S DANGEROUS NUCLEAR

189
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
WEAPONS PROGRAM AND ITS

190
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
CONTINUED SUPPORT OF TERRORIST

191
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE HEZBOLLAH

192
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
AND HAMAS NOT ONLY ENDANGER

193
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,000
ISRAEL BUT ENDANGER THE WORLD.

194
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
[APPLAUSE}

195
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
ATTEMPTS OF MUCH OF THE WORLD

196
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
TO ISOLATE AND DELEGITIMIZE THE

197
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
STATE OF ISRAEL ARE

198
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
INCREASINGLY COMMON AND TAKEN AS

199
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
THE NORM IN OTHER PARTS OF THE

200
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
WORLD.

201
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
ALL THESE PRESSURES ARE SIMILAR

202
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
BUT DIFFERENT AND THEY'VE PUT

203
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
ENORMOUS PRESSURE ON THE STATE

204
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
OF ISRAEL.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND WE

205
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
ESPECIALLY UNDERSTAND THAT IF

206
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
WE MAKE A MISTAKE, IT IS NOT A

207
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
THREAT TO OUR EXISTENCE, BUT IF

208
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
ISRAEL MAKES A MISTAKE, IT

209
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
COULD BE A THREAT TO ITS VERY

210
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
EXISTENCE.

211
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
[APPLAUSE]

212
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
THAT IS WHY FROM THE MOMENT THE

213
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE, HE HAS

214
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
ACTED SWIFTLY AND DECISIVELY TO

215
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
MAKE CLEAR TO THE WHOLE WORLD

216
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
AND TO ISRAEL THAT EVEN AS

217
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED ONE

218
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
THING HAS NOT, OUR DEEP

219
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
COMMITMENT TO THE SECURITY OF

220
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

221
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
THAT HAS NOT CHANGED.

222
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
THAT WILL NOT CHANGE AS LONG AS

223
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
I AND HE ARE PRESIDENT AND VICE

224
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

225
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
IT IS IN OUR NAKED SELF-

226
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
INTEREST, BEYOND THE MORAL

227
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
IMPERATIVE.

228
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
ALL OF YOU, I THANK YOU FOR

229
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
CONTINUING TO REMIND THE NATION

230
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
AND THE WORLD OF THAT

231
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
COMMITMENT, AND WHILE WE MAY

232
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
NOT ALWAYS AGREE ON TACTICS --

233
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LOT.

234
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LOT OF

235
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
PRIME MINISTERS.

236
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
WE HAVE ALWAYS DISAGREED ON

237
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
TACTICS.

238
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
WE HAVE ALWAYS DISAGREED AT

239
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
SOME POINT OR ANOTHER ON

240
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
TACTICS.
WE HAVE NEVER DISAGREED ON THE

241
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
STRATEGICALLY IMPERATIVE THAT

242
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
ISRAEL MUST BE ABOUT TO PROTECT

243
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
ITS OWN, MUST BE ABOUT TO DO IT

244
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
ON ITS OWN, AND WE MUST ALWAYS

245
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
STAND WITH ISRAEL TO BE SURE

246
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000
THAT CAN HAPPEN.
[APPLAUSE]

247
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
AND WE WILL.

248
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
THAT IS WHY WE WORK SO HARD TO

249
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
MAKE SURE ISRAEL HAS ITS

250
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
QUALITATIVE EDGE IN THE MIST OF

251
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
THE GREAT RECESSION.
I HAVE SERVED WITH EIGHT

252
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES

253
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
OF AMERICA, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU

254
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
UNEQUIVOCALLY, NO PRESIDENT HAS

255
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
DONE AS MUCH TO PHYSICALLY
SECURE THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS

256
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.

257
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
[APPLAUSE]

258
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
PRESIDENT OBAMA LAST YEAR

259
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
REQUESTED $3.1 BILLION IN

260
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
MILITARY ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL,

261
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
THE MOST IN HISTORY.

262
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
HE HAS DIRECTED CLOSE

263
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
COORDINATION STRATEGICALLY AND

264
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
OPERATIONAL BETWEEN OUR

265
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
GOVERNMENT AND OUR ISRAEL

266
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
PARTNERS, INCLUDING OUR

267
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
POLITICAL, MILITARY, AND

268
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
INTELLIGENCE LEADERSHIP.

269
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
I CAN SAY WITH CERTITUDE, IN THE

270
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
LAST EIGHT PRESIDENTS, I DO NOT

271
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
KNOW ANY TIME WHEN THERE HAVE

272
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
BEEN MANY MEETINGS AS MUCH

273
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
COORDINATION BETWEEN OUR

274
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
INTELLIGENCE SERVICES AND OUR
MILITARY.

275
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF

276
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
TRAVELING BACK ACROSS THE OCEAN,

277
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
I THINK.

278
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION, WE

279
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
HAVE HELD THE MOST REGULAR AND

280
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
LARGEST EVER JOINT MILITARY

281
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
EXERCISES.
WE HAVE INVESTED $275 MILLION IN

282
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
IRON DOME, INCLUDING $70
MILLION THAT THE PRESIDENT

283
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
DIRECTED TO BE SPENT LAST YEAR

284
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
ON AMERICAN BASES TO INCREASE

285
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
THE PRODUCTION OF IRON DOME

286
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
BATTERIES AND INTERCEPTORS.

287
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
[APPLAUSE]

288
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
NOT LONG AGO, I WOULD HAVE HAD

289
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
TO DESCRIBE TO AN AUDIENCE WHAT

290
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
IRON DOME WAS, HOW IT WOULD

291
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
WORK, WHY FUNDING IT MATTERED.

292
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I DO NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO

293
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
ANYBODY ANYMORE.

294
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
EVERYBODY GETS IT.

295
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
EVERYBODY SAW.

296
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
THE WORLD SAW FIRSTHAND WHY IT

297
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
WAS AND REMAINED SO CRITICAL.

298
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
FOR TOO LONG, WHEN THOSE SIRENS

299
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
BLARED IN THE STREETS AND THE

300
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
CITIES BORDERING GAZA, THE ONLY

301
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
DEFENSE HAD BEEN A BOMB
SHELTER, BUT LATE LAST YEAR,

302
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
IRON DOME MADE A DIFFERENCE.

303
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
WHEN THE LAUNCHED ROCKETS RAINED

304
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
ON ISRAEL, IRON DOME SHOT THEM

305
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
OUT OF THE SKY INTERCEPTING

306
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
NEARLY 400 ROCKETS IN NOVEMBER

307
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
ALONE.

308
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
IT WAS OUR UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP

309
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
-- ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES

310
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
-- THAT PIONEERED THIS

311
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
TECHNOLOGY AND FUNDED IT, AND IT

312
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
IS IN THAT SAME SPIRIT THAT WE

313
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
ARE WORKING WITH ISRAEL TO JOIN

314
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
AND DEVELOP NEW SYSTEMS CALLED

315
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
ARROW AND DAVID'S SLING,

316
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
INTERCEPTORS THAT CAN DEFEAT

317
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
LONG-RANGE THREATS FROM IRAN

318
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
SYRIA, AND HEZBOLLAH EQUALLY AS

319
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
URGENT.
[APPLAUSE]

320
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
WE ARE WORKING TO DEPLOY A

321
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
POWERFUL NEW RADAR NETWORKED

322
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
WITH AMERICAN EARLY-WARNING

323
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
SATELLITES THAT CAN BUY ISRAEL

324
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
VALUABLE TIME IN THE EVENT OF

325
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
AN ATTACK.

326
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

327
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
THIS IS WHAT WE DO TO ENSURE

328
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
ISRAEL CAN COUNTER AND DEFEAT

329
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
ANY THREAT FROM ANY CORNER.

330
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
[APPLAUSE]
BUT THAT IS ONLY THE FIRST

331
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
PIECE OF THIS EQUATION.

332
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
LET ME TELL YOU AND I EXPECT I

333
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
SHARE THE VIEW OF MANY OF YOU

334
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH

335
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
AIPAC FOR A LONG TIME.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WORRIES ME

336
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
THE WORST, WHAT WORRIES MORE

337
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000
THAN ANYTIME IN THE 40 YEARS I

338
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000
HAVE BEEN ENGAGED AND IS

339
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
DIFFERENT THAN ANY TIME IN MY

340
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
CAREER AND THAT IS THE WHOLESALE
SEEMINGLY COORDINATED EFFORT TO

341
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
DELEGITIMIZE ISRAEL AS A JEWISH

342
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
STATE.
THAT IS THE SINGLE MOST

343
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
DANGEROUS, PERNICIOUS CHANGE

344
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE, IN M
HUMBLE OPINION, SINCE I HAVE

345
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
BEEN ENGAGED.

346
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
[APPLAUSE]

347
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT

348
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000
MATTERS.
IT MATTERS.

349
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, THERE IS ONLY

350
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
ONE NATION, ONLY ONE NATION IN

351
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
THE WORLD THAT HAS

352
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
UNEQUIVOCALLY WITHOUT HESITATION
AND CONSISTENTLY CONFRONTED THE

353
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000
EFFORTS TO DELEGITIMIZE ISRAEL.

354
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,000
AT EVERY POINT IN OUT

355
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,000
ADMINISTRATIVE, AT EVERY

356
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
JUNCTURE, WE HAVE STOOD UP ON

357
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
THE LEGITIMACY ON BEHALF OF
LEGITIMACY OF THE STATE OF

358
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
ISRAEL.

359
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS BEEN A

360
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
BULWARK AGAINST THOSE INSIDIOUS

361
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
EFFORTS IN EVERY STEP OF THE

362
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
WORLD.
WHEREVER HE GOES IN THE WORLD

363
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000
HE MAKES CLEAR THAT ALTHOUGH HE

364
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
WANTS BETTER RELATIONS WITH

365
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRIES

366
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
ISRAEL'S LEGITIMACY AND OUR

367
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
SUPPORT FOR IT IS NOT A MATTER

368
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
OF DEBATE.
[APPLAUSE]

369
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF DEBATE.

370
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
[APPLAUSE]

371
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
IT IS SIMPLE, AND HE MEANS IT.

372
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
[APPLAUSE]

373
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF DEBATE.

374
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
DO NOT RAISE IT WITH US.

375
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
DO NOT RAISE IT WITH US.

376
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
IT IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.

377
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
AS RECENTLY AS LAST YEAR THE

378
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
ONLY COUNTRY ON THE UNITED

VOTE AGAINST -- I THINK IT IS

381
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
36 COUNTRIES.

382
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000
DO NOT HOLD ME THE EXACT NUMBER.

383
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
THE ONLY COUNTRY ON THE HUMAN

384
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000

00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
NATIONS TO VOTE AGAINST THE

386
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
ESTABLISHMENT OF A FACT-FINDING

387
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
MISSION ON SETTLEMENTS WAS THE

388
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

389
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
WE OPPOSED THE UNILATERAL

390
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
EFFORTS OF THE PALESTINIAN

391
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
AUTHORITY'S TO CIRCUMVENT

392
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS BY PUSHING

393
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
FOR STATEHOOD AND MULTILATERAL

394
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE UNESCO.
WE STOOD STRONG WITH ISRAEL AND

395
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
ITS RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF AFTER

396
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
A GALLSTONE REPORT WAS ISSUED IN

397
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
2009 WHILE THE REST OF THE

398
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
WORLD, INCLUDING SOME OF OUR
GOOD FRIENDS, WERE PREPARED TO

399
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
EMBRACE THE REPORT.
WE CAME OUT STRAIGHTFORWARDLY

400
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN AND WITH

401
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
RECOMMENDATION.
WHEN ISRAEL WAS ISOLATED IN THE

402
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
AFTERMATH OF THE GAZA FLOTILLA

403
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
IN 2012, I WAS IN AFRICA.
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE

404
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
PHONE.

405
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
EHUD AND -- THE DEFENSE

406
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
MINISTER AND I AND BB AND I
SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THAT

407
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
PHONE WITH MY INTERCEDING GOING

408
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000

409
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
BY TELEPHONE, SPEAKING WITH THE

410
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
SECRETARY-GENERAL, MAKING SURE
THAT ONE THING WAS MADE CLEAR.

411
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
ISRAEL HAD THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE

412
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
THAT BLOCKADE.

413
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
[APPLAUSE]

414
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT IS

415
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
WHY I REFUSE TO ATTEND EVENTS

416
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
SUCH AS THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF

417
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
2001 WORLD CONFERENCE ON RACISM

418
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
THAT SHAMEFULLY EQUATED ZIONISM

419
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,000
WITH RACISM.

420
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
[APPLAUSE]

421
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
THAT IS WHY WE REJECTED ANTI-

422
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
SEMITIC RHETORIC FROM ANY

423
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
CORNER AND FROM LEADERS OF ANY
NATION, AND THAT IS WHY I AM

424
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
PROUD TO SAY MY FRIEND, THE NEW

425
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
SECRETARY OF STATE, JOHN KERRY

426
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
SPOKE OUT AGAINST THAT KIND OF

427
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
LANGUAGE IN ANKARA JUST THIS

428
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000
FRIDAY.

429
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
[APPLAUSE]

430
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
BY THE WAY, HE IS A GOOD MAN.

431
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
YOU ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH

432
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000
KERRY.

433
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
IT WAS IN THE STRONGEST TERMS

434
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
THAT WE VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED THE

435
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
PALESTINIAN BID FOR NONMEMBER

436
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
OBSERVER STATUS IN THE GENERAL

437
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
ASSEMBLY, AND WE WILL CONTINUE

438
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
TO OPPOSE ANY EFFORTS TO

439
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000
ESTABLISH A STATE OF PALESTINE

440
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
THROUGH UNILATERAL ACTIONS.

441
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO PEACE.

442
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO FACE-

443
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
TO-FACE NEGOTIATIONS.
THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO

444
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
GUARANTEES MADE LOOKING IN THE

445
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
EYES OF THE OTHER PARTY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN ISRAEL'S

446
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
OWN LEADERS CURRENTLY

447
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
UNDERSTAND THE IMPERATIVE OF

448
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
PEACE.

449
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU

450
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
DEFENSE MINISTER BARAK

451
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
PRESIDENT PERES, THEY HAVE ALL

452
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
CALLED FOR A TWO-STATE SOLUTION

453
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
AND AN ABSOLUTE SECURE

454
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
DEMOCRATIC AND JEWISH STATE OF

455
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
ISRAEL THAT LIVE SIDE-BY-SIDE

456
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
AN IMPENDENT PALESTINIAN STATE

457
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
BUT IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO, AND

458
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000
THE REST OF THE ARAB WORLD HAS

459
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000
TO GET IN THE GAME.

460
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
[APPLAUSE]

461
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000
WE ARE UNDER NO ILLUSIONS ABOUT

462
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
HOW DIFFICULT IT WILL BE TO

463
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
ACHIEVE.
EVEN SOME OF YOU IN THE

464
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
AUDIENCE SAID, WHY DO WE ABOUT

465
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
TALK IT ANYMORE?

466
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
WELL, IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE

467
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
HARD STEPS ON BOTH SIDES, BUT

468
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
IT IS IN ALL OF OUR INTERESTS

469
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
-- ISRAEL'S INTEREST, THE

470
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
UNITED STATES' INTEREST, THE

471
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
INTEREST OF THE PALESTINIAN

472
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
PEOPLE.
WE ALL HAVE A PROFOUND INTEREST

473
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
IN PEACE, SO TO USE AN

474
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
EXPRESSION OF A FORMER

475
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
PRESIDENT, BILL CLINTON, WE HAVE

476
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
GOT TO BE CAUGHT TRYING.

477
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
WE HAVE GOT TO BE CAUGHT

478
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,000
TRYING, SO WE REMAIN DEEPLY

479
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
ENGAGED.

480
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
AS PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SAID,

481
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
WHILE THERE ARE THOSE WHO

482
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
QUESTION WHETHER THIS GOAL MAY

483
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
EVER BE REACHED, WE MAKE NO

484
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,000
APOLOGIES FOR CONTINUE TO

485
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
PURSUE THAT GOAL TO PURSUE A
BETTER FUTURE, AND HE WILL MAKE

486
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
THAT CLEAR WHEN HE GOES TO

487
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
ISRAEL LATER THIS MONTH.

488
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
WE ARE ALSO MINDFUL THAT

489
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000
PURSUING A BETTER FUTURE FOR

490
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
ISRAEL MEANS HELPING ISRAEL

491
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
CONFRONT THE MYRIADS OF THREATS

492
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
IT FACES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

493
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000
IT IS A TOUGH NEIGHBORHOOD AND

494
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
IT STARTS WITH IRAN.

495
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
IT IS NOT ONLY IN ISRAEL'S

496
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
INTEREST, AND EVERYBODY SHOULD

497
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
-- IT IS NOT ONLY IN ISRAEL'S

498
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000
INTEREST THAT IRAN DOES NOT

499
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
ACQUIRE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.

500
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF THE

501
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

502
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
[APPLAUSE]

503
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
IT IS SIMPLE.

504
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT IS IN

505
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
THE INTEREST OF THE ENTIRE

506
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000
WORLD.

507
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
[APPLAUSE]

508
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
IRAN'S ACQUISITION OF A NUCLEAR

509
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
WEAPON NOT ONLY WOULD PRESENT

510
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000
AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ISRAEL,

511
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
IT WOULD PRESENT A THREAT TO

512
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000
OUR ALLIES AND OUR PARTNERS AND

513
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
TO THE UNITED STATES, AND IT

514
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,000
WOULD TRIGGER AN ARMS RACE -- A

515
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
NUCLEAR ARMS RACE IN THE REGION

516
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000
AND MAKE THE WORLD A WHOLE LOT

517
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
LESS STABLE.

518
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
WE HAVE A SHARED STRATEGIC

519
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
COMMITMENT.

520
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
LET ME MAKE CLEAR WHAT THAT

521
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
COMMITMENT IS.

522
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
IT IS TO PREVENT IRAN FROM

523
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
ACQUIRING A NUCLEAR WEAPON,

524
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
PERIOD.

525
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000
PERIOD.

526
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
END OF DISCUSSION.

527
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
PERIOD.
TO PREVENT, NOT CONTAIN

528
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
PREVENT.

529
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000
[APPLAUSE]

530
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
THE PRESIDENT FLATLY STATED

531
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000
THAT, AS MANY OF YOU IN THIS

532
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
ROOM HAVE HEARD ME SAY, AND HE

533
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000
ALWAYS KIDS ME ABOUT THIS.

534
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000
WE WILL BE IN THE SECURITY

535
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
ROOM AND I KNOW THAT DEBBIE

536
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,000
WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ KNOWS THIS

537
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
BECAUSE SHE HEARS IT.

538
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
HE ALWAYS SAYS, YOU KNOW HE

539
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,000
WILL TURN TO OTHER PEOPLE AND

540
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
SAY, AS JOE WOULD SAY, BIG

541
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
NATIONS CANNOT BLUFF.

542
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
BIG NATIONS CANNOT BLUFF.

543
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES

544
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
CANNOT AND DO NOT BLUFF.

545
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IS NOT

546
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
BLUFFING.

547
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
[APPLAUSE]

548
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,000
HE IS NOT BLUFFING.

549
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
[APPLAUSE]

550
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR WAR.

551
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
WE ARE LOOKING TO AND READY TO

552
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
NEGOTIATE PEACEFULLY, BUT ALL

553
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,000
OPTIONS INCLUDING MILITARY

554
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000
FORCE ARE ON THE TABLE, BUT AS I

555
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
MADE CLEAR AT THE MUNICH

556
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
SECURITY CONFERENCE LAST MONTH

557
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,000
OUR STRONG PREFERENCE -- THE

558
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
WORLD'S PREFERENCE -- IS FOR A

559
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000
DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION, SO WHILE

560
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
THAT WINDOW IS CLOSING WE

561
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000
BELIEVE THERE IS STILL TIME AND

562
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
SPACE TO ACHIEVE THE OUTCOME.

563
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000
WE ARE IN CONSTANT DIALOGUE,

564
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
SHARING INFORMATION WITH THE

565
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,000
ISRAELI MILITARY, THE ISRAELI

566
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,000
INTELLIGENCE SERVICE ISRAELI

567
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000
POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT AT EVERY

568
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000
LEVEL.

569
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
WE ARE TAKING ALL OF THE STEPS

570
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
REQUIRED TO GET THERE, BUT I

571
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
WANT TO MAKE CLEAR TO YOU

572
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
SOMETHING -- GOD FORBID THE

573
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
NEED TO ACT OCCURS, IT IS

574
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE

575
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW WE DID

576
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER.

577
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,000
WE DID EVERYTHING THAT

578
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000
REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN

579
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000
EXPECTED TO AVOID ANY

580
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
CONFRONTATIONS.

581
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,000
THAT MATTERS BECAUSE GOD FORBID

582
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
IF WE HAVE TO ACT, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THE REST OF THE

583
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
WORLD IS WITH US.

584
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000
WE HAVE A UNITED INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY.

585
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
[APPLAUSE]

586
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
WE HAVE A UNITED INTERNATIONAL

587
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
COMMUNITY RIGHT BEHIND THESE

588
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000
UNPRECEDENTED SANCTIONS.

589
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
WE HAVE LEFT IRAN MORE ISOLATED

590
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
THAT EVER.

591
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,000
WHEN WE CAME TO OFFICE, AS YOU

592
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
REMEMBER, NOT BECAUSE OF THE

593
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
LAST ADMINISTRATION, JUST A

594
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000
REALITY, IRAN WAS ON THE

595
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000
ASCENDANCY IN THE REGION.

596
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
IT IS NO LONGER ON THE

597
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
ASCENDANCY.

598
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRESSURE IS

599
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
NOT TO PUNISH.

600
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000
IT IS TO CONVINCE IRAN TO MAKE

601
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,000
GOOD ON ITS INTERNATIONAL

602
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
OBLIGATIONS.

603
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000
PUT SIMPLY, WE ARE SHARPENING A

604
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000
CHOICE THAT THE IRANIAN
LEADERSHIP HAS TO MAKE.

605
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OBLIGATION

606
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS AND

607
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,000
GIVE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

608
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,000
IRONCLAD CONFIDENCE IN THE

609
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000
NATURE OF THEIR PROGRAM OR THEY

610
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000
CAN CONTINUE DOWN THE PATH THAT

611
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
THEY ARE ON TO FURTHER ISOLATE

612
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
AND MOUNTING PRESSURE OF THE

613
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
WORLD, BUT EVEN PREVENTING IRAN

614
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
FROM ACQUIRING A NUCLEAR WEAPON

615
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
STILL LEAVES THEM A DANGEROUS

616
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
NEIGHBOR, PARTICULARLY TO

617
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
ISRAEL.

618
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
THEY ARE USING TERRORIST

619
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
PROXIES TO SPREAD VIOLENCE IN

620
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,000
THE REGION AND BEYOND REGION

621
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,000
PUTTING ISRAELIS, AMERICANS

622
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
CITIZENS OF EVERY CONTINENT IN

623
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
DANGER.

624
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
FOR TOO LONG HEZBOLLAH HAS

625
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
TRIED TO POSE AS NOTHING MORE

626
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
THAN A POLITICAL AND SOCIAL

627
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
WELFARE GROUP WHILE PLOTTING

628
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
AGAINST INNOCENCE IN EASTERN

629
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
EUROPE, FROM EASTERN EUROPE TO

630
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
EAST AFRICA, SOUTHEAST ASIA TO

631
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
SOUTH AMERICA.

632
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
WE KNOW WHAT ISRAEL KNOWS.

633
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
HEZBOLLAH IS A TERRORIST

634
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
ORGANIZATION.

635
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
PERIOD.

636
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000
[APPLAUSE]

637
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
WE ARE URGING EVERY NATION IN

638
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,000
THE WORLD THAT WE DEAL WITH --

639
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
AND WE DEAL WITH THEM ALL -- TO

640
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
START TREATING HEZBOLLAH AS SUCH

641
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
AND NAMING THEM AS TERRORIST

642
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
ORGANIZATIONS.

643
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
[APPLAUSE]

644
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT A THREAT

645
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000
TO ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES.

646
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000
THIS IS ABOUT GLOBAL TERRORIST

647
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000
ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE TARGETS

648
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000
PEOPLE ON SEVERAL CONTINENTS.

649
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,000
WE WILL SAY AND WE WILL DO OUR

650
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
PART TO STOP THAT, AND WE ASK

651
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
THE WORLD TO DO THE SAME.

652
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE BEEN TALKING

653
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,000
TO OUR FRIENDS IN EUROPE TO

654
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
FORCEFULLY DECLARE HEZBOLLAH A

655
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

656
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
THIS PAST MONTH, I HAVE MADE

657
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000
THE CASE TO THE LEADING EUROPEAN

658
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000
HEADS OF STATE, AS BARAK AND

659
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
ISRAELIS KNOW, TOGETHER, WE HAVE

660
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000
TO CONTINUE TO CONFRONT

661
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
HEZBOLLAH WHEREVER IT SOWS THE

662
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
SEEDS OF HATRED AND STANDS

663
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
AGAINST THE NATIONS THAT

664
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
SPONSORED CAMPAIGNS OF TERROR.

665
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
LADIES AND GENTLE, THE UNITED

666
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,000
STATES AND ISRAEL HAVE A SHARED

667
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,000
INTEREST IN SYRIA AS WELL.

668
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
ASSAD HAS SHOWN HIS FATHER'S

669
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE AND

670
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
DIGNITY, ENGAGING IN THE BRUTAL

671
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
MURDER OF HIS CITIZENS.

672
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,000
OUR POSITION ON THAT TRAGEDY

673
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
CANNOT BE CLEARER -- ASSAD MUST

674
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000
GO, BUT WE ARE NOT SIGNING UP

675
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
FOR ONE MURDEROUS GANG REPLACING

676
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
ANOTHER IN DAMASCUS.

677
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
[APPLAUSE]

678
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
THAT IS WHY OUR FOCUS IS ON

679
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
SUPPORTING LEGITIMATE

680
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000
OPPOSITION NOT ONLY COMMITTED TO

681
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
A PEACEFUL SYRIA BUT TO A
PEACEFUL REGION.

682
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,000
THAT IS WHY WE ARE CAREFULLY

683
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
VETTING THOSE TO WHOM WE

684
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE.

685
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
THAT IS WHY WHILE PUTTING

686
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
RELENTLESS PRESSURE ON ASSAD AND

687
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,000
SANCTIONING THE PRO-REGIME

688
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,000
IRANIAN-BACK MILITIA, WE HAVE

689
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,000
ALSO DESIGNATED AL-NUSRA

690
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000
UPFRONT AS A TERRORIST

691
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000
ORGANIZATION AND BECAUSE WE

692
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
RECOGNIZE THE GRAVE DANGER OF

693
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
ASSAD'S CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL

694
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
ARSENAL POSE TO ISRAEL AND THE

695
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
UNITED STATES AND THE WHOLE

696
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
WORLD, WE HAVE SET A CLEAR RED

697
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,000
LINE AGAINST THE USE AND THE

698
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000
TRANSFER OF THOSE WEAPONS, AND

699
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
WE WILL WORK TOGETHER TO PREVENT

700
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
THIS CONFLICT AND THESE

701
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
HORRIFIC WEAPONS FROM

702
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
THREATENING ISRAEL'S SECURITY.

703
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
WHILE WE TRY TO ENSURE AN END

704
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,000
TO THE DICTATORSHIP IN SYRIA

705
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
WE HAVE SUPPORTED AND WILL

706
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
SUPPORT A GENUINE TRANSITION TO

707
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000
AN EGYPTIAN DEMOCRACY.

708
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000
WE HAVE NO ILLUSIONS.

709
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
WE KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS WILL

710
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
BE AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS.

711
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
THERE HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN A

712
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
DRAMATIC CHANGE IN EGYPT.

713
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,000
A LOT OF IT HAS GIVEN US HOPE

714
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000
AND A LOT IF IT HAS GIVEN US

715
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000
PAUSE AND A LOT OR IT HAS

716
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
CAUSED FEARS IN OTHER QUARTERS.

717
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
IT IS NOT ABOUT US BUT IT

718
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,000
PROFOUNDLY AFFECTS US.
WE NEED TO BE INVESTED IN

719
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
EGYPT'S SUCCESS AND STABILITY.

720
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,000
A STABLE, SUCCESSFUL EGYPT WILL

721
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
TRANSLATE INTO A STABLE REGION.

722
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT WHAT IS

723
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
HAPPENING IN EGYPT THROUGH

724
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
ROSE-COLORED GLASSES.

725
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000
AGAIN, OUR EYES ARE WIDE OPEN.

726
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
WE HAVE NO ILLUSIONS ABOUT THE

727
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE, BUT WE

728
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000
ALSO KNOW THIS -- THERE'S NO

729
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
LEGITIMATE ALTERNATIVE, AT THIS

730
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
POINT, TO ENGAGEMENT.

731
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
ONLY THROUGH ENGAGEMENT THAT

732
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
WITH EGYPT THAT WE CAN FOCUS

733
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
EGYPT'S LEADERS ON THE NEED TO

734
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
REPAIR INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS

735
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
-- RESPECT INTERNATIONAL

736
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING AND

737
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
ESPECIALLY ITS PEACE TREATY WITH

738
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000
ISRAEL.
IT IS ONLY THROUGH ACTIVE

739
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
ENGAGEMENT THAT WE CAN HELP

740
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
ENSURE THAT HAMAS DOES NOT REARM

741
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,000
THROUGH THE SINAI AND PUT THE
PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AT RISK.

742
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
IT IS ONLY THROUGH ENGAGEMENT

743
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
THAT WE CAN CONCENTRATE EGYPT'S

744
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
GOVERNMENT ON THE IMPERATIVE OF

745
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000
CONFRONTING EXTREMISTS, AND IT

746
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,000
IS ONLY THROUGH ENGAGEMENT THAT

747
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
WE CAN ENCOURAGE EGYPT'S LEADERS

748
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
TO MAKE REFORMS THAT WILL SPARK

749
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND STABILIZE

750
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000
THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS, AND IT

751
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,000
IS ALL TOUGH, AND THERE IS NO

752
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000
CERTAINTY.

753
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
THERE IS NO CERTITUDE ABOUT
ANYTHING IN THE ARAB SPRING.

754
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,000
I EXPECT PRESIDENT OBAMA TO

755
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
COVER EACH OF THESE ISSUES IN

756
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
MUCH GREATER DETAIL.

757
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
I HAVE LEARNED ONE THING, AS I

758
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
WAS TELLING THE PRESIDENT.

759
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
I LEARNED, IT IS NEVER A GOOD

760
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
IDEA, EHUD, TO STEAL THE

761
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
PRESIDENT'S THUNDER.

762
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO SAY

763
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
WHAT HE IS GOING TO SAY THE NEXT

764
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000
DAY, SO I AM NOT GOING TO ANY
FURTHER DETAIL ON THIS, BUT MUCH

765
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,000
GREATER DETAIL -- HE WILL

766
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
DISCUSS THIS WHEN HE GOES TO

767
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
ISRAEL LATER THIS MONTH, JUST

768
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,000
BEFORE PASSOVER BEGINS.

769
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000
I HAVE TO ADMIT, I AM A LITTLE

770
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
JEALOUS THAT HE GETS TO BE THE

771
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
ONE TO SAY "THIS YEAR IN

772
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
JERUSALEM" BUT I AM THE VICE

773
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
PRESIDENT.

774
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000
I AM NOT THE PRESIDENT.

775
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,000
[APPLAUSE]
WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT, I AM NOT

776
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
SURE HE THOUGHT I WAS SERIOUS OR

777
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
NOT BUT ANYWAY.

778
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
[LAUGHTER]

779
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
AND IT WILL COME AS NO SURPRISE

780
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,000
TO YOU, THE PRESIDENT AND I NOT

781
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,000
ONLY ARE PARTNERS, WE'VE BECOME

782
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
FRIENDS AND HE AND I HAVE

783
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,000
SPOKEN AT LENGTH ABOUT THIS TRIP

784
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
AND I CAN ASSURE YOU HE IS

785
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
PARTICULARLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
HAVING A CHANCE TO HEAR DIRECTLY

786
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000
FROM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, AND

787
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,000
BEYOND THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS

788
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
AND PARTICULARLY THE YOUNGER

789
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
GENERATION OF ISRAELIS AN I MUST
NOTE, JUST AS I'M GETTING A

790
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000
CHANCE TO SPEAK TO 2,000 YOUNG

791
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
AMERICAN JEWS INVOLVED AND

792
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
COMMITTED TO THE STATE OF

793
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,000
ISRAEL AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH

794
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,000
THE UNITED STATES, HE IS AS

795
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,000
ANXIOUS TO DO WHAT I GOT A
CHANCE TO DO WHEN I WAS THERE

796
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
LAST, EHUD, WITH YOU AS YOU FLEW

797
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000
ME ALONG THE LINE.

798
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
I GOT TO GO TO TEL AVIV

799
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,000
UNIVERSITY AND SPEAK TO SEVERAL

800
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
THOUSAND YOUNG ISRAELIS.

801
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
THE VIBRANCY, THE OPTIMISM THE

802
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT IS

803
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
CONTAGIOUS, AND HE IS LOOKING

804
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000
FORWARD TO SEEING IT AND

805
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,000
FEELING IT AND TASTING IT.

806
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
THE PRESIDENT LOOKS FORWARD TO

807
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000
HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEIR

808
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
HOPES AND THEIR ASPIRATIONS

809
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,000
ABOUT THEIR ASTONISHING WORLD-
LEADING TECHNOLOGICAL

810
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
ACHIEVEMENTS, ABOUT THE FUTURE

811
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
THEY ENVISION FOR THEMSELVES AND

812
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
FOR THEIR COUNTRY, ABOUT HOW
DIFFERENT THE WORLD THEY FACE IS

813
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
FROM THE ONE THEIR PARENTS

814
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,000
FACED, EVEN IF MANY OF THE

815
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
THREATS ARE THE SAME.
THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT

816
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
CONVERSATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENT
TO HAVE AND TO HEAR AND FOR THEM

817
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
TO HEAR.

818
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
THESE ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
I GET KIDDED -- AGAIN, TO QUOTE

819
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
DEBBIE AS SHE KIDS ME SOMETIMES.
EVERYBODY QUOTES -- DEMOCRAT

820
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
AND REPUBLICAN -- QUOTES TIP

821
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,000
O'NEILL SAYING, ALL POLITICS IS

822
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,000
LOCAL.

823
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,000
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, LONNIE I

824
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,000
THINK THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

825
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
I THINK ALL POLITICS IS PERSONAL

826
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
AND I MEAN IT.
ALL POLITICS IS PERSONAL AND IT

827
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
IS BUILDING PERSONAL

828
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,000
RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST AND
EXPOSURE, TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT

829
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
REALLY MATTERS, PARTICULARLY IN

830
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
FOREIGN POLICY, SO LADIES AND

831
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
GENTLEMEN, LET ME END WHERE I

832
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
BEGAN, BY REAFFIRMING OUR

833
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,000
COMMITMENT TO THE STATE OF
ISRAEL.

834
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,000
IT IS NOT ONLY A LONG-STANDING

835
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,000
MORAL COMMITMENT, IT IS A
STRATEGIC COMMITMENT.

836
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
AN INDEPENDENT ISRAEL, SECURE IN

837
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,000
ITS OWN BORDERS, RECOGNIZED BY
THE WORLD IS IN THE PRACTICAL

838
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
STRATEGIC INTEREST OF THE UNITED

839
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,000
STATES OF AMERICA.

840
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000
I USED TO SAY WHEN I -- LONNIE'S

841
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
BROTHER USED TO SAY, IF THERE

842
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
WERE NO ISRAEL, WE WOULD HAVE

843
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,000
TO INVENT ONE.

844
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ALSO

845
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
KNOW THAT IT IS CRITICAL TO

846
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,000
REMIND EVERY GENERATION OF

847
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
AMERICANS, AS YOU ARE DOING

848
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,000
WITH YOUR CHILDREN HERE TODAY,

849
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
IT IS CRITICAL TO REMIND OUR

850
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
CHILDREN MY CHILDREN, YOUR

851
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,000
CHILDREN -- THAT IS WHY THE

852
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
FIRST TIME I EVER TOOK THE THREE

853
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,000
OF MY CHILDREN SEPARATELY TO

854
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
EUROPE, THE FIRST PLACE I TOOK
THEM WAS DACHAU.

855
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
WE FLEW TO MUNICH AND WENT TO

856
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
DACHAU.
THE FIRST THING THEY EVER DID

857
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
AS ANNETTE WILL REMEMBER BECAUSE

858
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL OUR
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

859
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A NEVER-

860
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,000
ENDING REQUIREMENT.
THE PRESERVATION OF AN

861
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,000
INDEPENDENT JEWISH STATE IS THE

862
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
ULTIMATE GUARANTOR.
IT IS THE ONLY CERTAIN

863
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,000
GUARANTOR OF FREEDOM AND

864
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,000
SECURITY FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE

865
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
IN THE WORLD.
[APPLAUSE]

866
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,000
THAT WAS MOST POIGNANTLY POINTED

867
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,000
OUT TO ME WHEN I WAS A YOUNG

868
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
SENATOR MAKING MY FIRST TRIP TO
ISRAEL.

869
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
I HAD THE GREAT, GREAT HONOR --

870
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000
AND THAT IS NOT HYPERBOLE -- OF

871
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000
GETTING TO MEET FOR THE FIRST

872
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,000
TIME AND SUBSEQUENTLY -- I MET
HER BEYOND THAT -- GOLDA MEIR.

873
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,000
SHE WAS THE PRIME MINISTER.

874
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
NOW, I AM SURE EVERY KID UP

875
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
THERE SAID, YOU CANNOT BE THAT
OLD, SENATOR.

876
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
I HOPE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE

877
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
SAYING, BUT SERIOUSLY, THE FIRST
TRIP I EVER MADE -- Y'ALL KNOW

878
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
THOSE DOUBLE DOORS -- YOU GO IN

879
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
THE OFFICE -- AND THE BLOND

880
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
FURNITURE AND THE DESK ON THE
LEFT SIDE, IF MY MEMORY SERVES

881
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
ME CORRECTLY AND GOLDA MEIR, AS
THE PRIME MINISTER AND DEFENSE

882
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
MINISTER, SHE HAD THOSE MAPS

883
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
BEHIND HER THAT -- YOU KNOW,

884
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
YOU COULD PULL DOWN ALL THOSE

885
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000
MAPS LIKE YOU HAD IN GEOGRAPHY

886
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000
CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND SHE

887
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:40,000
SAT BEHIND HER DESK, AND I SAT

888
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
IN THE CHAIR IN FRONT OF HER

889
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
DESK, AND A YOUNG MAN WAS

890
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000
SITTING TO MY RIGHT WHO WAS HER

891
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,000
ASSISTANT.
HIS NAME WAS YITZHAK RABIN.

892
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,000
[LAUGHTER]
SERIOUSLY, THAT IS A TRUE STORY

893
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,000
AND SHE SAT THERE CHAIN-SMOKING

894
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
AND READING LETTERS, READING

895
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
LETTERS TO ME, LETTERS FROM THE

896
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
FRONT IN THE SIX-DAY WAR.
SHE READ THE LETTERS ABOUT AND

897
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,000
THEN TOLD ME HOW THIS YOUNG MAN

898
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
OR WOMAN HAD DIED AND MISSED

899
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,000
HER FAMILY.

900
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,000
AND THIS WENT ON FOR I DO NOT

901
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
KNOW HOW LONG.

902
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
I GUESS SHE COULD TELL I WAS

903
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
VISIBLY MOVED BY THIS AND I WAS

904
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
GETTING DEPRESSED ABOUT IT AND

905
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
SHE SUDDENLY LOOKED AT ME AND
SAID SHE LOOKED AT ME, SHE SAID,

906
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
SENATOR, WOULD YOU LIKE A PHOTO

907
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,000
OPPORTUNITY?

908
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000
[LAUGHTER]

909
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
AND I LOOKED AT HER, I SAID,

910
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
WELL, YES, MADAM PRIME MINISTER,

911
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
AND WE WALK OUT THOSE DOORS, WE

912
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
STOOD THERE.
NO STATEMENTS AND WE ARE

913
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,000
STANDING NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER

914
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,000
LOOK AT THIS ARRAY OF MEDIA,
TELEVISION AND PHOTOJOURNALISTS,

915
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
SNAPPING PICTURES.

916
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
WE ARE LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD.
WITHOUT LOOKING AT ME, SHE

917
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,000
