But.

-- -- the -- just for the occasion.

Only weaken the whole year I get to where -- saw hope you like it.

And welcome to Huckabee from the Fox -- studios in New York City.

My first trip to Israel occurred nearly forty years ago.

In July 1973.

Just a couple of months before the young kids -- war I was just a teenager at the time.

-- going back ever sense.

And my visit Israel always purchase a Palestinian map and I asked the people like take -- to open the map and show me where Israel list.

Is -- is not on the map.

Interesting isn't it.

Israelis are asked to make peace with a people who refuse to acknowledge their existence.

Israel was condemned for its construction of a security wall but until it was directed it was common for terrorists to strap bombs -- their bellies.

-- -- and kill innocent men women and children.

With a construction of that wall those acts of terror virtually stopped.

So shall -- be critical of those who wish to protect their families.

-- we condemn those who wish for peace and our neighborhoods for their children to be able to play in a park.

For their wives to visit -- -- or supermarket without the fear being blown up by a terrorist.

We would never tolerate and our cities but the people -- -- been asked to accept.

I've seen thousands of -- -- -- rockets -- -- behind the police station.

Israelis fear every day that it -- too sure rocket might land on their children's bedroom.

The park where they play the schools they attend the synagogues where they worship.

How many rockets fired from Toronto into buffalo do you think it would take before we would demand that our government stop it 5000.

3100.

No just one -- -- -- rocket is all it would take.

The Israelis have been asked just to let it go.

Anybody who wonders why a safe haven for Jews is necessary.

They ought to ask me.

Because I'll tell them what I've learned from my many visits to Israel and my experience this past January when my wife and I traveled -- -- and birth canal.

I sit in the very place where one point one million Jews were murdered in cold blood.

Chills came over me as I realize what happened there and I prayed -- the world never.

Never forget what happened.

When I visited Agusta -- museum in Jerusalem a couple of years ago.

It was a brutal reminder -- what happens when politicians make decisions that don't involve their brains.

When you demand that people abandon their homes because you somehow believe that you can trust radical Islamic fascist to keep their word and make nice.

It shows a level of -- -- it makes -- don't look like church hill.

You can't negotiate with people who don't believe you have the right to exist.

And our secretary of state visited Egypt -- handed over a check for 250.

Million dollars at a time when we're ending White House two -- To make any sense.

Why are we get an F sixteens and -- tanks.

To this country who's elected president is associated with a terrorist organization.

And who has publicly called Jews bloodsuckers.

And the descendants of apes and pigs.

Now the president -- it will be going in Israel next week.

And it is important that the American people give him a message rather than he give the Israelis a message.

And that message is this.

Mr.

President Americans stand with -- his role because it is a mirror image of our own freedom and democracy.

And before you demand the Israelis to give up land.

Asked the Palestinians to give up terrorism.

In the meantime -- Israelis to build as much as they can't.

Until the Palestinians that if they don't like it.

-- they can recognize the right of the Israelis to exist safely and securely within their god given biblical boundaries.

And that's probably never gonna happen.

So I say pour the concrete -- houses.

And let his -- be strong.
