Michael Oren explains how "restorationism" in America is rooted in Pilgrims' appropriation of the Bible narrative of Jews leaving Egypt.

According the Shalem Center senior fellow, much of the theology behind restorationism has to do with what is best for the Christian faithful.

American presidents, from Adams to Nixon, may have loved the Jewish people, but that doesn't mean they loved Jews, per Oren.

Middle East expert Oren: "The American-Israel relationship is an alliance virtually unsurpassed in the history of America's foreign relations."

Micheal Oren, the Israeli, fears the Russian desire to gain a foothold in the Middle East. Their backing of Syria is a growing concern.

With Walt/Mearsheimer's "Israel Lobby" charge gaining currency, Oren urges all to speak on the legacy of US support of a Jewish state.
