I told Congressional leaders during the 1973 Yan Kipper War no American president will let Israel go down the tubes - democrat or republican - it's not an issue […] because the United States is concerned by more than strategic values. That's maybe a weakness, but it's the way we are and there are moral issues involved here. We don't have an alliance with Israel, as you know, they're not an ally of the United States in a technical sense, but we have a bond to Israel that's much stronger - it's a moral commitment. A moral commitment because of what happened during the Holocaust, and a moral commitment because it is a democracy, the only democracy in that area, and under the circumstances that is why American presidents and the American people in the future will support all out the survival of Israel if it's attacked.

Nixon is responding to Ted Koppel’s observation that Nixon wrote in his book that Israel is of no strategic value to the US and yet it continues to support Israel.
