Rich Goldberg Casts 250-Year US-Israel Bond as Covenant Rooted in Shared Biblical History

Summary
Rich Goldberg said the U.S.-Israel relationship is more than a strategic alliance, arguing on Fox's 'Life, Liberty & Levin' that it rests on a covenantal bond predating both modern Israel and the United States.
1630 Puritan preaching, the Mayflower Compact and the American Revolution all drew on Hebrew scripture and Jewish ideas of self-government, he said, making biblical covenant central to America's political identity.
John Adams' support for a Jewish return to Judea and an 1891 William E. Blackstone petition to President Benjamin Harrison were cited as evidence that pro-Israel sentiment long preceded modern lobbying or recent presidents.
Goldberg argued shared values still anchor the alliance today, linking Israel's founding and democracy to the same inalienable-rights tradition as the 1776 Declaration and saying that heritage will outlast opposition.
