I came here from an interview with CNN, before I arrived here
CNN interviewed me. A report was published on
the rising anti-Semitism across Europe.
He (reporter) asked me what do should we do with it, so I told him
what needs to be done in Europe. So I told him that the most
substantial solution to anti-Semitism is the state
of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Once we were like a driven leaf in the wind and we
could be slaughtered. Today we have the
power to respond. We are on the eve of Chanukah.
The spirit of the Maccabees is here ― you are the Maccabees.
We overcome our enemies with extraordinary strength
and the extraordinary spirit that I see here; I see this in
the IDF and in all our fighters. I am proud of you and believe in you,
and the people of Israel believe in you.
