“It seems to me that it is entirely proper to start a Zionist state around Jerusalem.”
— Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
Long before the modern State of Israel, one of America’s greatest presidents was a vocal supporter of Jewish restoration.
As a 14-year-old in 1872–73, Roosevelt visited the Western Wall and was struck by the devotion he saw. That trip left a mark. Throughout his life he showed consistent admiration for Jews:
- As NY Police Commissioner, he praised Jewish officers for their “Maccabee-type” bravery
- His Rough Riders included many Jews; the first to die in battle was a 16-year-old Jewish Texan
- As President, he appointed the first Jewish Cabinet member (Oscar Straus)
- He confronted the Russian Czar over the Kishinev Pogrom and donated part of his Nobel Prize to Jewish causes
Roosevelt’s 1918 statement was the culmination of a lifelong view he himself articulated: there could be “no peace worth having” unless the Jews controlled their ancestral homeland.
From John Adams to the 1891 Blackstone Memorial to Teddy Roosevelt — American support for Zionism was mainstream, bipartisan, and rooted in justice long before 1948.
🇮🇱 50 years since Operation Entebbe.
In the summer of 1976, terrorists hijacked Air France Flight 139 and took Israeli and Jewish passengers hostage in Uganda.
Israel faced an impossible choice: negotiate under terrorist blackmail or launch one of the most daring rescue missions in modern history.
The IDF flew thousands of kilometers, rescued the hostages, and brought them home.
The operation came at a heavy price: three hostages and Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, commander of Sayeret Matkal, were killed.
Entebbe remains one of the clearest symbols of Israeli courage, Jewish solidarity, and the refusal to abandon our people.
