Israel Will Never be ‘Passive in the Face of Threats to Annihilate Us’

A record crowd of 16,000 received Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a long standing ovation on Monday at the 2015 AIPAC (America-Israel Public Affairs Committee) Policy Conference.

 

“Reports of the demise of the United States-Israel… You’re here to tell the world that our alliance is stronger than ever,” the Israeli Prime Minister told the crowd at AIPAC.

 

“You may not have heard,” but “I’ll be speaking at Congress tomorrow,” joked Netanyahu. “Never has so much been written about a speech that hasn’t been given,” he added.

 

“I do want to say a few words about the purpose of that speech,” said Netanyahu. “I have great respect for both” President Obama and the office of the President of the United States, he stated.

 

The America-Israel alliance “has been championed by both parties, and so it must remain,” said the Israeli Prime Minister. He added that “the last thing that I would want is for Israel to become a partisan issue, and I regret” that some people have perceived it as such.
