Biden in Israel: "You Don't Need to Be a Jew to Be a Zionist"
(White House) President Biden said Wednesday after arriving in Israel: "I say again, you need not be a Jew to be a Zionist. The fact is that, since [my first visit to Israel in 1973], I've known every single Prime Minister and it's been an honor, formed strong working relationships with each of them. And now, this is my 10th visit. Every chance to return to this great country, where the ancient roots of the Jewish people date back to biblical times, is a blessing, because the connection between the Israeli people and the American people is bone deep."
