[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] �The threats to Israel right now are immense�, Florida Congressman�Allen West said last night in a speech at the home of Rich Roberts. Known as a staunch supporter of Israel, West spoke about the Israel-Iran threats which currently faces the Middle-East, and about the recent �off-mic� statements from the French and American presidents which sparked widespread criticism.

�The fact that President Sarkozy and President Obama quote on quote off microphone made the statements that they made, it�s not so much the words that they said, but the fact that those words were heard on the Arab street�, West said.

�America is my physical homeland, Israel is my spiritual homeland� he said.

The Congressman concluded, �I want you all to know, for your children and grandchildren, I will not rest, until their future and their legacy, as Americans,�and their Jewish Heritage is protected and secure for years and years to come�. �Le�chaim�.
