Sen. Ted Cruz

I actually don't.

I haven't seen them articulate that objective, but I assume so because for the same reason, it would be unequivocally in America's interest to see a regime in power that doesn't want to murder Americans.

The same is true for Israel.

They'd like a regime in power that doesn't want to murder Israelis like that's a natural thing.

When when you have a leader who with religious fervor chants death to America and death to Israel, you would expect both America and Israel to be like, wait, that that's not good.

I'm reminded of during the Obama administration, John Kerry was secretary of state.

And there was an editorial cartoon of the Ayatollah going death to America.

And John Kerry says, well, can we meet you halfway?

But like there's not a middle ground compromise.

And let me be clear.

America supports Israel because it is unequivocally in America's national security interest to support Israel.

Because we get massive benefits.

Number one, the Mossad is an incredibly effective intelligence agency and they share that intelligence with us.

We're seeing this right now in this war with Iran.

How is it?

You look at the 12 day war.

The 12-day war last year, which Israel waged almost the entirety of.

We did virtually nothing.

The only thing we did in the 12-day war was the one thing Israel couldn't do, which is they did not have bunker buster bombs that were big enough to penetrate into the base of a mountain where Fordow, the Iranians, had built their nuclear weapon research facilities in the base of a mountain precisely because Israeli munitions couldn't take it out.

The only country that had bombs big enough to do that was the United States.
