Bob Menendez- Democratic Senator from NJ and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee addresses the AIPAC Conference: menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/press/chairman-menendez-remarks-at-aipac “I have said many times before and will repeat again today, the Holocaust was the most sinister possible reminder that the Jewish population in exile was in constant jeopardy. It was a definitive argument that anti-Semitism could appear anywhere, and its horrors galvanized international support for the State of Israel. But, while the Shoah may have a central role in Israels identity, it is not the reason behind its founding, and it is not the main reason for its existence. “The modern reestablishment of the state of Israel has long and deep roots going back to the time of Abraham and Sarah. There is no denying the Jewish people’s legitimate right to live in peace and security on a homeland to which they have had a connection for thousands of years and that has not changed through the centuries.
