Kind words for Israel
Obama speaks of Israel’s absorption of immigrants from across the world, its technology and democracy, and its “tireless” free press.
He speaks of the country’s “lively” public debate, then adds, “Lively might be an understatement.”
He also mentions the “courage” of the IDF and the resilience of Israelis in the face of terror.
The US became the first nation to recognize Israel 11 minutes after its declaration of independence, he notes.
