00:00Is it less America first, Israel instead?
00:05There are so many inaccuracies, fallacies and lies in what the gentleman said.
00:12I struggle to start, but I'll just say this.
00:15Israel has never asked for anybody to do its fighting for it.
00:20On the contrary, what we ask for and what we need is weapons,
00:25but we never ask anybody to fight for us.
00:27We never asked anybody to take out the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1982.
00:34By the way, it was condemned at the time, and afterwards, many countries thanked us.
00:41We never asked anybody to take action against the Syrian nuclear reactor in 2007,
00:47and we did so by ourselves.
00:49We have never asked anybody to defend us in the almost countless wars
00:53that have been waged against Israel by our Arab neighbors.
00:57And we haven't asked U.S. troops to defend us against Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad,
01:03or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that have been attacking Israel since October 7th,
01:09and of course before that.
01:10So to say that Israel is dragging anybody is, I would say, intellectually dishonest.
01:18Israel is defending itself, and I think Israel is doing a tremendous job of being a staunch
01:24and loyal American ally in the Middle East.
01:28Mm-hmm.
