Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an impassioned, pro-Israel speech this week in a pre-recorded video for the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

“There can be no compromise with antisemitism,” Rubio said.

“Golda Meir once said, ‘It took Moses 40 years to find the only place in the Middle East with no oil,’” Rubio began. “But Israel‘s wealth lay not under the ground, but in its people; the Jewish people: exiles, pilgrims and dreamers from around the world who made the desert bloom into a high-tech superpower.”

“Israel accomplished this miracle, not by abandoning history and identity, but by embracing it,” he continued. “Sadly, some of Israel’s neighbors have failed to appreciate how following Israel’s example could have brought prosperity to the region. Instead, they chose war. They decided to impoverish their people in a futile effort to destroy Israel. They succeeded in the former while failing in the latter.”

Rubio turned to history: “Antisemitism is the world’s oldest bigotry, and given that we are all here today, it is also the world’s most futile. Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors. Persian shahs and Middle Eastern despots have sought to destroy the nation of Israel. Adolf Hitler dreamed of a world without Jews; an idea he shares with Hamas. Today, these regimes and empires have crumbled into dust, but Israel stands, and the Jewish people prosper.”

Then he segued to the future: “I pray for the day when the entire world will recognize the futility of antisemitism; when leaders will abandon self-destructive hatred and forge a new future and partnership with Israel by building on the Abraham Accords. Under President Trump‘s leadership, there are signs that the future may be closer than we dared dream, but only if we can overcome the futile persistent evil of antisemitism, can we reach that future.”
