Christie on Israel

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is quoted in The Weekly Standard, speaking about U.S. policy toward Israel. Let me give you three samples:

• I admire Israel for the enemies it has made.
• Both Americans and Israelis believe – we know deep in our bones – that if the Islamic Republic of Iran acquires a nuclear weapons capability, it will be an existential threat to Israel, to America, and to world civilization itself.
• Any president, Republican or Democrat, who allows such a thing to occur on his watch, would be acting in a way that is profoundly against the national security interests of the United States and the security interests of our friends in Israel.
