According to former National Security Advisor to President Trump, Robert O’Brien, Israel shares our values and those who attack Israel “attack us.” He warned that “if we do not defend American power abroad, we will lose our freedom,” which is why it is “critically important” to return former President Donald Trump to power.“
Speaking to Breitbart News at an Israel Heritage Foundation (IHF) event in Israel this week, O’Brien noted that America and the Jewish state embody the same values.

“Americans should care about the current conflict because Israel shares our values,” he said. “Our entire Western civilization was born through Jerusalem, Athens, Rome and Washington, D.C. That’s our history.”
“And those who attacked Israel attacked us,” he added.

O’Brien highlighted his recent visits to the sites of the October 7 massacre, including the Nova music festival site, and condemned the Palestinian “barbarians” who carried out the brutal attack.
“When you look at these beautiful pictures of young people whose lives have been cut short because terrorists have decided to kill, maim and rape them, it’s just despicable,” he said.
“We must always stand by Israel’s side,” he added.
The former NSA official claimed he was delivering the same “message” to Israel as former President Donald Trump. “Get the job done, get it done. … Get to Rafa and get it done fast. [and end] We condemn the control of Gaza by this terrorist organization.”

O’Brien described the upcoming 2024 US presidential election as “the most important election we will face in our lifetimes” for the security of the US and its allies.
“Politicians in every election [but] “This time it really is,” he argued. “If we don’t restore peace by strength, if we don’t rebuild our military, if we don’t defend American power overseas, we will lose our freedoms and our way of life, and so will our allies and friends.”
“That’s why it’s so important that we get Donald Trump back in power and that we get him elected,” he added.
He noted that during Trump’s term in office, the United States “enjoyed peace and economic stability, no new wars in four years, and our enemies respected us and were deterred from attacking us, our partners, allies and friends.”
“We need to get back to that environment,” he concluded.
