you you look well so we're here this evening in Solem remance of one of the darkest hours in all of human history one year ago today every s ized person was filled with shock and horror and grief at the news of an evil and so absolute that and nobody's have SE nobody's seen anything like it nobody's seen anything that it really can barely be described you can't describe it October 7th was not just the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust it was not just the worst terror attack since 911 it was an
attack on Humanity itself it was a hideous incredible cruelty it was chilling savagery it was demonic delight and the destruction of innocent life on October 7th it seemed as if the Gates of Hell had sprung open and Unleashed their Horrors onto the world and that's exactly what happened what a moment in time what a moment in horrible history horrible history today we mourn more than 1,200 innocent victims of the October 7th attacks whose me memory we honor with 1,200 beautiful individual candles and we honor them with Grace and with gratitude for their lives and for
their families what their families have gone through and maybe we'll have a moment of silence please thank you very much to every family that lost a loved one I know so many of them on that terrible day including several here tonight we grieve with you we stand with you and we make you this sacred and sacred vow very simple vow a vow you've heard many times and sometimes it's honored and sometimes it's not but this will be honored never again never again the monsters who perpetrated those murders also took over 250 hostages men women and
children including 12 Americans in so doing they inflicted the most Unthinkable torture not only on their captives but also on the families who were forced to live day after day in excruciating Agony and pain not knowing whether their loved ones were dead or alive can you think of anything worse tonight we send our love to every innocent soul who remains in Hamas captivity you just are not going to stand for it not going to take it we're not going to take it any longer we pray that through the darkness they know that we have not
forgotten them that we have not forsake forsaken them we will never forsake them and we will never abandon them and with God's help they will come safely home and it will be soon we hope it will be very soon very very so and we hope they're safe nobody knows I was talking to somebody today and the family has no idea they think their boy is safe beautiful boy beautiful young guy American he went over there to enjoy and to pray and uh they've never seen him again but they think he's alive and uh can you
imagine that can you even imagine let me also say to all of the people of Israel who have endured a long year search of anger and slander and War our hearts are united with yours we are very United with yours the bond between the United States and Israel is strong and enduring and if and when they say when I'm president I don't say that I never say that if and when I'm president of the United States it will once again be stronger and closer than it ever was before we have to to win this election
if we don't win this election is tremendous consequence for [Applause] everything you know I say that November 5th will be the most important day in the history of our country I think it will also be the most important day in the history of Israel if you want to know the truth I believe that I think you believe that too thank you over the past year there's been an effort by some to deny the horrors of October 7th just as some unbelievably deny the Hol Holocaust itself and H you have that and you have people that
actually say oh October 7th it never happened where do these people come from where do they come from and they don't believe it they don't believe it they want others to believe it they don't believe it that's why it's so important to remember and to State clearly for history what happened on that terrible day the only way we can keep our vow is never again and it really is to also say never ever forget we can never forget the nightmare of that day still hands the the horrible the horrible Legacy of what's taking place the
survivors the families of the dead and Jews all over the world Hamas raped tortured maimed and murdered innocent civilians in the most barbaric ways imaginable nobody can believe what they saw and it's it's there for those to see if you want to see it it's a terrible thing I've seen it they paraded into a music festival full of life and Beauty from the skies they came and massacred young people who came for joy and happiness and peace they were loving young people wonderful young people Beautiful People one young woman whose friend had been killed was
seen begging on her knees for her life she was begging please please her last words were don't kill me please don't kill me before the terrorist shot her dead in the face elsewhere a child and an adult were bound together with metal wire they burned alive a baby was shot through the heart while still in the mother's womb ready to be born and shut today we reaffirm the entire world to hear there can be no acceptance no excuse and no understanding of this kind of evil it's the evil like nobody has ever seen before nothing
can justify it nothing can rationalize it and any person who sympathizes with it with these terrible atrocities as a sickness in their soul and the Darkness in their heart and these are people that can never be our allies or our friends almost as shocking as October 7th itself is the outbreak of anti-Semitism that we have all seen in its wake uh I never thought I was going to see this never ever this is so incredible to be witnessing Whoever thought we thought this was very very rarified putrid air we never thought we'd see it and
we certainly never thought we'd see it in this country and a lot of that has to do with the leadership of this country this attack yeah well that's that's true we need leadership thank you thank you thank you it's very sad to say I never thought I'd see it this attack should have rallied the entire world in support of the Jewish people and the Jewish homeland instead an ancient scourge of anti-jewish hatred and this was something we thought was left to hundreds and thousands of years ago I mean this was something we never thought could
happen the anti-jewish hatred has returned even here in America in our streets our media and our college campuses and within the ranks of the Democrat Party in particular not in the Republican party I will tell you that it's not in the Republican party and I say that the Republican party has not been infected by this horrible disease and hopefully it won't be it won't be as long as I'm in charge I can tell you that these endless candles photos and empty chairs remind us why it's so important that the toxic poison of anti-Semitism be condemned
confronted and stopped anti-semitic bigotry has no place in a civilized society it has no place in our universities and it has no place in the United States of America no place over 2,500 survivors of the Holocaust living in Israel were directly impacted by the horrors of October 7th many were forced to flee their homes they cannot believe it happened some even lost their lives actually many lost their lives one of them was mosha Riddler mosha was escaped from a concentration camp at the age of 11 only to die at the hands of the same vile
hate eight decades later can you imagine can you imagine his thought process when he saw this happening can you even imagine it Hamas terrorists murdered mosha at 91 years old for the same reason the Nazis put him in a camp simply because he was a Jew the world cannot continue down this dangerous path we must stop this perilous slide into conflict hatred and destruction and we must really honestly stop it now it cannot go on because it's going to only get worse if it does the October 7th attack would never have happened if I was
President I can the past few years have proven that weakness only begets violence and War and you see that it's weakness but it's also there's a lot of hatred going around also not just weakness it's hatred there's a lot of hatred on a certain side what is needed more than ever is a return of unwavering American leadership and unquestioned American strength we were strong we were powerful we were respected like this country has not been respected in many many decades just four years ago that's what I intend to deliver as the 47th president of the
United States we're going to [Music] deliver everything that we want as you know Hamas has now been severely degraded and Hezbollah has recently been dealt very very powerful crippling blows with strength and the right leadership the dawn of a new more harmonious Middle East is finally within our reach it's finally within our reach but you have no idea the role that the United States has to play in order to get that ball over the goal line we have to get it into the end zone and if it's not the United States it's not going to
happen it's not going to happen we have to be able to get it done and get it done properly and get back to a wonderful beautiful way of life you have to be able to do it you have to finish what you began and you have to finish it quickly so here is my commitment to you on the solemn date I will not allow the Jewish state to be threatened with destruction I will not allow another Holocaust of the Jew people I will not allow a Jihad to be waged on America or our allies and
I will support Israel's right to win its war on terror and it has to win it fast no matter what happens it has to go fast [Applause] and I want to uh while we're at this point I want to thank Mr Steve witkoff a great entrepreneur New York and Florida and elsewhere I think everywhere frankly but he's made a major contribution so I just want you to know that I think it's appropriate to bring that up what do you think and Steve is the only one that doesn't really care if I do but he's been
very generous thank you very much Steve I appreciate with his wonderful beautiful boy here at home I will defend our American Jewish population I will protect your communities your schools your places of worship and your values we will remove the Jihad sympathizers and Jew haters we're going to remove the Jew haters who do nothing to help our country they only want to destroy our country and we will never let the horrors of October 7th be repeated here on Americans we will not let that happen and we will solve the problem that we have if you
look at what happened just two days ago in New York City I couldn't believe it I said it's starting all over again the level of violence was as bad as it was last summer if we can achieve all of that we can really make sure that those who perished on October 7th will not have died in vain they can not have died in vain you cannot let that happen with God's help their sacrifice will have given way to a safer Jewish homeland a stronger state of Israel a more secure America and at long last we
will have achieve the dream of some generations we are going to make this we are going to turn this and you can never say a total positive because all of those people that have died but we're going to turn this into something where they can be proud of what's happened they can say we sacrificed our lives for something very special uh there has to be Unity there has to be peace there has to be strength we need so many qualities we need every single quality we're going to bring it all together and we will have
peace in the Middle East we will have strength and resilience and we will have a very powerful and strong Israel and I will be with you all the way thank you very much God bless you and God bless the people of Israel God Bless America thank you very much EX
