Official name:State of Israel .1986 June 5,Joe Biden , 01:27:00 from the start, inSenate Session [2] ,C-SPAN :If we look at the Middle East, I think it’s about time we stop those of us, who support – as most of us do –Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support forIsrael . There is no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not anIsrael , the United States of America would have to invent anIsrael to protect her interest in the region; the United States would have to go out and invent anIsrael .

If the war againstIsrael ever had to be fought on Israeli soil – do I have to tell you? –, it’s an impossibility. So it’s the same thing. Don’t let the war of words ever be fought aboutIsrael ’s nature!
