American and Israel share a special bond. Our relationship is unique among all nations. Like America, Israel is a strong democracy, a symbol of freedom, and an oasis of liberty, a home to the oppressed and persecuted.

The quotation frames U.S.–Israel ties as not merely strategic but value-based, grounding the alliance in shared democratic ideals and a self-image of both nations as havens for the persecuted. By calling Israel an “oasis of liberty” and “home to the oppressed,” the speaker invokes a moral narrative that legitimizes close cooperation and continued support, especially in a region often portrayed as hostile to liberal democracy. The rhetoric also mirrors American civic mythology—freedom, refuge, and pluralism—thereby encouraging U.S. audiences to see Israel’s security and flourishing as aligned with America’s own identity and interests.
