American Leaders Worry About The Security Of Their Country. Israeli Leaders Worry About The Survival Of Their Country.

The History Of Warfare Has Not Yet Enabled Any Army, Any Civilized Army, The Army Of A Democracy Like Israel, To Be Able To Deal With A Ruthless Terrorist Enemy That Uses Civilians As A Human Shield Without Having Some Incidental Civilian Casualties.

The Romans Used To Say That Courage Is Not The Only Virtue, But It's The Only One That Makes The Other Virtues Possible.

Eternal Vigilance

I Don't Think That Anyone Should Doubt Israel's Determination To Defend Itself Against Terror And Destruction.

There’s No One In Israel Who Appreciates More Than Me The Importance Of American Support For Israel.

I Certainly Will Make Sure That Everybody Understands That I'm The Prime Minister Of All Of Israel's Citizens, And I Really Believe That. It's Something That My Actions Have Shown. It's Not A Question Of Fence-mending, It's A Question Of Real Belief, And It's There. I Don't Have To Fabricate It.

I Don't Think Israel Can Accept An Iranian Terror Base Next To Its Major Cities Any More Than The United States Could Accept An Al Qaeda Base Next To New York City.

We Will Respond With A Heavy Hand To The Brutal Murder Of Jews Who Came To Pray And Were Killed By Lowly Murderers.

In The Frameworks Of A Peace Agreement, A Government Under My Leadership Would Agree To Make Real Territorial Concessions But Will Not Compromise Our Security Borders. We Want There To Be Less Friction. We Want To Remove Outposts To Help The Palestinian Population. We Will Not Reoccupy The Palestinian Population.

Every Time An Arab Leader Truly Wanted Peace, They Got It. If The Palestinians Truly Want Peace, We Will Make Peace.

Israel Does Not Target Civilians. It Targets The Terrorists.

If The World Powers Are Not Prepared To Insist That Iran Change Its Behavior Before A Deal Is Signed, At The Very Least They Should Insist That Iran Change Its Behavior Before A Deal Expires.

There Is An Irreplaceable Ally. It's Called The United States Of America.

Leaders Must See Reality As It Is, Not As It Ought To Be.

So I Think We Should Stay Focused On The Real Problem In The Middle East. It's Not Israel. It's These Dictatorships That Are Developing Nuclear Weapons With The Specific Goal Of Wiping Israel Away.

A Legitimate Democracy Cannot Act Against A Terror Organization Because It Is Using Civilians As A Human Shield, And Therefore It Should Absorb Attacks On Its Own Civilians.

If Diplomacy Has Any Chance To Work, It Must Be Coupled With A Credible Military Threat.

Hamas Is Isis, And Isis Is Hamas. They're Branches Of The Same Tree. People Who Wantonly Rocket Our Cities And Want To Conduct Mass Killings. And When They Can, They Murder Children, Teenagers, Shoot Them In The Head. Throw People From The Sixth Floor, Their Own People. ... They're The Enemies Of Peace, They're The Enemies Of Israel, They're The Enemies Of All Civilized Countries. And I Believe They're The Enemies Of The Palestinians Themselves.

Well, This Is An Unfortunate Part Of The Un Institution. It's The - The Theater Of The Absurd. It Doesn't Only Cast Israel As The Villain; It Often Casts Real Villains In Leading Roles: Gadhafi's Libya Chaired The Un Commission On Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq Headed The Un Committee On Disarmament.

Israel Has Done Enormous Amount Of, For Peace. I Myself Have Done Things That No Prime Minister Previously Had Done.

If The Arabs Put Down Their Weapons Today, There Would Be No More ‎violence. If The Jews Put ‎down Their Weapons ‎today, There Would Be No ‎more Israel'‎

While Israel Is Prepared To Make Generous Compromises For Peace, It Cannot Go Back To The 1967 Lines...

But ... The Days That The Jewish People Remain Passive In The Face Of Genocidal Enemies — Those Days Are Over.

Certainly The International Community Is Putting A Lot Of Pressure On Iran And Making Clear That Its Nuclear Program Must Stop. If It Stops With The Sanctions, The Combinations Of Sanctions, Diplomacy, Other Pressures, I, As The Prime Minister Of Israel, Will Be The Happiest Person In The World.

Intelligence Is A Critical Thing.

Our Friendship Will Weather The Current Disagreement As Well, To Grow Even Stronger In The Future.

The Purpose Of The Jewish State Is To Secure The Jewish Future. That Is Why Israel Must Always Have The Ability To Defend Itself, Against Any Threat.

The Obama Presidency Has Two Great Missions: Fixing The Economy, And Preventing Iran From Gaining Nuclear Weapons.

But So Far, You Know Who's Been Violating The Nuclear Nonproliferation Pact Day And Night? Those Who Signed It. Iran, Iraq, Libya And Iran Violates It While Calling For Israel's Destruction And Racing To Develop Atomic Weapons To That End.

I Always Lose The Election In The Polls, And I Always Win It On Election Day.

The People Of Israel Will Have To Be Convinced That The Palestinians Are Ready For Peace.

History Has Shown Us Time And Again That What Is Right Is Not What Is Popular.

If Iran Wants To Be Treated Like A Normal Country, Let It Act Like A Normal Country.

I'm Not Naturally Manipulative.

May God Bless The State Of Israel And May God Bless The United States Of America.

I'm The Prime Minister Who Removed 400 Checkpoints, Barriers, Road-blocks And So On To Facilitate The Growth Of The Palestinian Economy.

I'm Very Proud Of The Fact That Israel Is The One Country In A Very Broad Radius That - In Which Arabs Have Free And Fair Elections. That's Sacrosanct. That Will Never Change. I Wasn't Trying To Suppress A Vote. I Was Trying To Get Something To Counter A Foreign-funded Effort To Get Votes That Are Intended To Topple My Party. And I Was Calling On Our Voters To Come Out.

Hamas Is Firing At Our Cities, At Our People, Firing From These Areas, From These Homes, From These Schools, From Mosques, From Hospitals. They Are Actually Using Them As Weapon Storage, As Command Posts And As Firing Positions, Or Right Next To Them.

Saving Lives Is More Important Than Preserving The Quality Of Life. Quality Of Life Is Always Amenable To Improvement. Death Is Permanent.

Israel Can Make Peace With An Organization That Seeks Its Destruction. That's Hamas. But Israel Can Make Peace With The Palestinian Authority. It Requires A Lot Of Courage From Both Sides Including President Mahmoud Abbas, The President Of The Palestinian Authority.

90 Percent, 85 To 90 Percent Of Israeli Citizens In Judea-samaria, In The West Bank, Live In Clusters, In Urban Blocks. Everybody Understands That If We Were To Have A Solution Then Those Blocks Would Stay In Israel. And That's Where You Saw These Cranes; That's Where Israelis Live. In The Jewish Neighborhoods Of Jerusalem, Everybody Understands, They Will Stay.

I Will Go To The Un General Assembly And, In A Clear Voice, Tell The Nations Of The World The Truth About Iran's Terrorist Regime, Which Constitutes The Greatest Threat To World Peace.

I Know Donald Trump. I Know Him Very Well. And I Think His Attitude, His Support For Israel Is Clear.

President Abbas, You've Dedicated Your Life To Advancing The Palestinian Cause. Must This Conflict Continue For Generations, Or Will We Enable Our Children And Our Grandchildren To Speak In Years Ahead Of How We Found A Way To End It? That's What We Should Aim For, And That's What I Believe We Can Achieve.

I Will Say That I Think Israel Enjoys Strong Bipartisan Support In The United States. It's Really Above And Beyond American Politics.

I Know That Israel Does Not Stand Alone. I Know That America Stands With Israel.

I Don't Want To Govern The Palestinians. I Don't Want Them As Subjects Of Israel Or As Citizens Of Israel. I Want Them To Have Their Own Independent State But A Demilitarized State.

Israel Has, Enjoys Bipartisan Support - Both Democrats And Republicans - And We Extend Bipartisan Hospitality To Both Democrats And Republicans.

There Is A Great Danger To The World, Not Only To My Country [israel] But To The United States, To The Middle East, To Peace, To All Of Humanity, From The Prospect That Such Regimes That Brutalize Its Own People, That Sponsors Terrorism More Than Any Other Regime In The World - That This Regime Acquires Atomic Bombs Is Very, Very Dangerous.

As Far As A Nuclear Weapons-free Zone, You Know, When The Lion Lies Down With The Lamb, And You Don't Need A New Lamb Every Day To Satisfy The Lion, Then We Might Have This Kind Of Transformation In The Middle East.

The Right Combination Is Between A Free Economy And Social Policy That Addresses The Needs Of Society And Creates Equal Opportunity.

If Israel Is Forced To Stand Alone, Israel Will Stand Alone.

And By The Way, A Piece Of News, Israel Is The One Country In Which Everyone Is Pro-american, Opposition And Coalition Alike. And I Represent The Entire People Of Israel Who Say, 'thank You, America.'' And We're Friends Of America, And We're The Only Reliable Allies Of America In The Middle East.

Hamas Is Simply Continuing All Its Operations. And Israel Will Not Let This Terror Operation Decide When It's Convenient For Them And Not Convenient For Them To Attack Our People.

If There Is Willingness On The Palestinian Side To Reach An Agreement, It Is Possible. We Are Conducting The Negotiations With Goodwill.

My Level Of Intervention In The Press, Trying To Control Stories, Is Zero. Subzero.

Israel Produces More Conceptual Products Than Any Other Country.

We Are Using Missile Defense To Protect Our Civilians, And They're Using Their Civilians To Protect Their Missiles.

I Don't Want A Single State. And I Talked About Two States Where A Demilitarized Palestinian State Recognizes The Jewish State, And I Stand By That. I Haven't Retracted My Position; I Haven't Changed It.

The Czech Republic Stood With The U.s., Canada And A Handful Of Other Countries Against The Prevailing International Current, But History Has Shown Us Time And Again That What Is Right Is Not What Is Popular.

I Can Tell You One Thing, Iran Is Closer To Developing Nuclear Weapons Today Than It Was A Week Ago, Or A Month Ago Or A Year Ago. It's Just Moving On With Its Efforts.

We Don't Point A Pistol At Our Own Forehead. That Is Not The Way To Conduct Negotiations.

To Defeat Isis And Let Iran Get Nuclear Weapons Would Be To Win The Battle And Lose The War.

First Of All, Arafat Is Wrong. Jerusalem Is Israel's Capital, Will Never Be Divided, And Will Remain The Capital Of The State Of Israel, The Capital Of The Jewish People, For Ever And Ever.

I Think That Peace Will Require Two States, A Palestinian State That Recognizes The Jewish State.

I Unequivocally Condemn The Striking Of The Soldier From The Ethiopian Community And Those Responsible Will Be Brought To Justice But Nobody Has The Right To Take The Law Into Their Own Hands, Immigrants From Ethiopia And Their Families Are Dear To Us And Israel Is Making Great Efforts To Ease Their Integration In Society.

The Nazis Believed In A Master Race. The Militant Islamists Believe In A Master Faith.

There Is A Fundamental Situation In Which The Country Has Reached Rock Bottom, That A Mother Can't Send Her Children Out Of The House In The Morning. The Country Has Reached Rock Bottom And This Needs To Be Changed.

The Instability In The Region Is Not A Result Of Israel And The Palestinians. That Was Never The Cause Of This Instability. Instead, The Disfunctionality Of Many Of These Societies That Have Failed To Modernize.

Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon Now Presides Over The Un Security Council. This Means, In Effect, That A Terror Organization Presides Over The Body Entrusted With Guaranteeing The World's Security. You Couldn't Make This Thing Up.

Why Are We Talking About Talking? Why Negotiating About Negotiating? It's Very Simple. If You Want To Get To Peace, Put All Your Preconditions On The Side, Sit Down Opposite A Table, Not In A Studio, By The Way.

The Us-israel Partnership Transcends Politics And It Always Will

No One Yet Knows What Awaits The Jews In The Twenty-first Century, But We Must Make Every Effort To Ensure That It Is Better Than What Befell Them In The Twentieth, The Century Of The Holocaust.

Those In The International Community That Refuse To Put Red Lines Before Iran Don't Have A Moral Right To Place A Red Light Before Israel.

The Only Good Thing I Can Say About The Deal With Iran Is That It Brought The Arab States And Israel Closer Together.

I Often Hear Them Accuse Israel Of Judaizing Jerusalem. That's Like Accusing America Of Americanizing Washington, Or The British Of Anglicizing London. You Know Why We're Called 'jews'? Because We Come From Judea.

The Application Of Military Force, Or The Prospect Of Such Application, Inhibits Terrorist Violence.

The Only Peace That Can Endure Is A Peace That Can Be Defended.

The Entire World Is Focusing On The Compromises That Are Necessary From Israel's Side. But People [in The World] Are Not Focusing On The Fact That The Palestinians Refuse To Make The Necessary Compromises That Are Required On Their Side For Peace.

All I Can Tell You Is That Israel's Position In The Arab World Has Changed Because They No Longer See Israel As Their Enemy, But As Their Ally, In Their Indispensable Battle Against The Forces Of Militant Islam, Either Those Led By Iran, The Shiites, Or - And Those Led By Daesh - By Isis, The Militant Sunnis.

The Israelis Wanted To Sabotage The Palestinian - Palestinian Reconciliation.

I Want To Tell You That Israel Is A Democracy And Every Citizen Is Automatically Registered To Vote. There's A Commitment In Our Declaration Of Independence, Guaranteed Under Israel's Law, That All Our Citizens, Arab And Jews, Alike, Have The Right To Vote.

Hamas Is Responsible And Hamas Will Pay.

You Can Make Peace With An Enemy, If The Enemy Abandons The Idea Of Destroying You. That Is The Critical Test. Democracies Fail To Understand What I Just Said.

The Prime Minister Of Israel Is Welcome To Speak In The United States, Obviously. But We Don't Want To See This Turned Into Some Great Political Football

I Say That To My Colleagues, By The Way, In The Internal Cabinet Meetings, I Say, 'look, I Want To Be Very Clear About What I Want.' I Just - I Don't Want A Peace Process, I Want A Peace Result.

I Think That Anyone Who Moves To Establish A Palestinian State And Evacuate Territory Gives Territory Away To Radical Islamist Attacks Against Israel.

I Think The Israeli People Understand Now What I Always Say: That There Cannot Be A Situation, Under Any Agreement, In Which We Relinquish Security Control Of The Territory West Of The River Jordan.

I Am Certain That I Speak On Behalf Of My Entire Nation When I Say: Today, We Are All Americans. In Grief, As In Defiance.

Don’t Be Fooled. The Battle Between Iran And Isis Doesn’t Turn Iran Into A Friend Of America.

Israelis Do Not Need To Be Lectured About The Importance Of Peace By Foreign Leaders.

We Wanted Peace And We Wanted To Come To Terms With The Israelis.

If The Palestinians Do Their Part, We Shall Do Our Part And We Shall Have An Agreement.

We Want To End This Misery Of The Palestinian People In Order For Us Really To Live With Dignity As Human Beings In An Independent State Side By Side With The Israeli State.

I'm A Proud Member Of The Rabble.

The Palestinians Want A State, But They Have To Give Peace In Return. What They're Trying To Do In The United Nations Is To Get A State Without Giving Israel Peace Or Giving Israel Peace And Security. And I Think That's, That's Wrong. That Should Not Succeed. That Should, That Should Fail.

When I Say That Terrorism Is War Against Civilization, I May Be Met By The Objection That Terrorists Are Often Idealists Pursuing Worthy Ultimate Aims -- National Or Regional Independence, And So Forth. I Do Not Accept This Argument. I Cannot Agree That A Terrorist Can Ever Be An Idealist, Or That The Objects Sought Can Ever Justify Terrorism. The Impact Of Terrorism, Not Merely On Individual Nations, But On Humanity As A Whole, Is Intrinsically Evil, Necessarily Evil And Wholly Evil.

Israel Has No Better Friend Than America. And America Has No Better Friend Than Israel. We Stand Together To Defend Democracy. We Stand Together To Advance Peace. We Stand Together To Fight Terrorism.

Everything Should Be Done To Prevent Iran, The World's Most Dangerous Regime, From Developing The World's Most Dangerous Weapons.

I Would Say We Want To Stop The Firing Of Rockets, For Sure. But We Also Want To Dismantle The Terror - The Tunnel - The Terror Tunnel Networks That We Have Uncovered.

Our Policy Is Very Simple. The Jewish State Was Set Up To Defend Jewish Lives, And We Always Reserve The Right To Defend Ourselves.

I'm Very Proud To Be The Prime Minister Of All Of Israel's Citizens, Arabs And Jews Alike.

Hamas Is Responsible And Hamas Should Held Accountable For Civilian Deaths.

To Subdivide This Land Into Two Unstable, Insecure Nations, To Try To Defend What Is Indefensible, Is To Invite Disaster. Carving Judea And Samaria Out Of Israel Means Carving Up Israel.

Anyone Who Is Going To Establish A Palestinian State, Anyone Who Is Going To Evacuate Territories Today, Is Simply Giving A Base For Attacks To The Radical Islam Against Israel.

My First Name, Benjamin, Dates Back A Thousand Years Earlier To Benjamin - Binyamin - The Son Of Jacob, Who Was Also Known As Israel. Jacob And His 12 Sons Roamed These Same Hills Of Judea And Samaria 4,000 Years Ago, And There's Been A Continuous Jewish Presence In The Land Ever Since.

Some Will Criticize Me No Matter What I Do.

Terrorism Is Carried Out Purposefully, In A Cold-blooded, Calculated Fashion. The Declared Goals Of The Terrorist May Change From Place To Place. He Supposedly Fights To Remedy Wrongs -- Social, Religious, National, Racial. But For All These Problems His Only Solution Is The Demolition Of The Whole Structure Of Society. No Partial Solution, Not Even The Total Redressing Of The Grievance He Complains Of, Will Satisfy Him -- Until Our Social System Is Destroyed Or Delivered Into His Hands.

The Rules Of Engagement Have Become So Rigid That Governments Often Straightjacket Themselves In The Face Of Unambiguous Aggression.

You Know, I'm Just Not Going To Get Into American Politics.

American Politics

In Order To Restore Security For Israeli Citizens, Every Home, Mother And Child In Israel, And To Establish A Stable And Strong Government That Will Unite The Nation...i Hereby Declare My Candidacy.

Israel Has Always Been Pro-american. Israel Will Always Be Pro-american.

Israel Is So Tiny. It's, You Know, A Little Less Than The Length Of Manhattan, Without The West Bank, Without Judea And Samaria.

The Iranian Acquisition Of Nuclear Weapons Would Be Infinitely More Costly Than Any Scenario You Can Imagine To Stop It.

If I Have To Reduce All Of The Laws Of War Into A Single Sentence, It Is This. You Divide The World Into Two, Combatants And Noncombatants. You Can Attack Deliberately Combatants, But Not Deliberately Noncombatants. Israel Acts That Way. It Attacks Combatants And Accidentally Kills Noncombatants. But In The Case Of The Terrorists, It's The Exact Opposite. They Deliberately Attack Combatants - Noncombatants, Civilians, Deliberately.

The Palestinian Society Is Split Into Two - Those Who Are Openly Calling For Israel's Destruction Like Hamas, And Those Who Are Not Calling Openly For Israel's Destruction But Refuse To Confront Those Who Do. And That's The Palestinian Authority. I Think They're Timid, They're Afraid To Actually Stand Up To These Killers. And I Think That They're Afraid, Maybe For Their Own Sake, For Their Own Political Hides, Sometimes For Their Own Physical Safety. And They Don't Take That Necessary Plunge.

I Had Differences Of Opinion With President Obama And Most Well-known, Of Course, Is Iran.

You Don't Have People Chanting 'death To America' In Israel.

Israel Is Doing What Any Other Country Would Do, And Certainly The U.s. Would Do. If 80 Percent Of Your Population Were Under Fire And You Had 60 Seconds Or 90 Seconds To Get Into Bomb Shelters, If Terror Tunnels Were Dug Underneath Your Border In Order To Come In And Explode Your Kindergartens And Massacre Your People And Kidnap American Citizens.

The Greatest Threat Facing Humanity Is A Radical Islamist Regime Meeting Up With Nuclear Weapons.

I Think That A Strong Israel Is The Only Israel That Will Bring The Arabs To The Peace Table.

Peace Is Purchased From Strength. It's Not Purchased From Weakness Or Unilateral Retreats.

I've Been Right More Than I've Been Wrong.

The Relationship Between Israel And The United States Is A Bond Of - It’s Just A Very Powerful Bond. It Was, It Is, And Will Be And Will Continue To Be.

Israel Has To Accommodate The Palestinian Demands And Aspirations For Ending Occupation And The Establishment Of An Independent Palestinian State. That Is The Only Answer. The Israeli Aggression On Gaza Does Not Bring Peace To Israel. We Know That. We Want End Of Occupation.

In My Office In Jerusalem, There's An Ancient Seal. It's A Signet Ring Of A Jewish Official From The Time Of The Bible. The Seal Was Found Right Next To The Western Wall, And It Dates Back 2,700 Years, To The Time Of King Hezekiah. Now, There's A Name Of The Jewish Official Inscribed On The Ring In Hebrew. His Name Was Netanyahu.

We Will Take Whatever Action Is Necessary To Protect Our People, Including Against The Terror Tunnels That They Are Trying To Dig Against Us.

The Israeli Government Has Proved Over The Past Year Its Commitment To Peace, Both In Words And Deeds. By Contrast, The Palestinians Are Posing Preconditions For Renewing The Diplomatic Process In A Way They Have Not Done Over The Course Of 16 Years.

This Is Why, As A Prime Minister Of Israel, I Can Promise You One More Thing: Even If Israel Has To Stand Alone, Israel Will Stand. But I Know That Israel Does Not Stand Alone. I Know That America Stands With Israel.

When It Comes To Iran And Isis, The Enemy Of Your Enemy Is Your Enemy!

Vampire Academy

There Is A Structural Difference Between The Way That Europe Views Israel, And America Views Israel. The European View Is Informed By The Importance Of Colonialism In Europe's Past. So For Europeans We Are Like Belgiums In The Congo, Or The French In Alger, Or The British In India. Strange Interlopers In Somebody Else's Land. But In Fact, We [israeli] Have Been Here For 4,000 Years. This Is Our Ancestral Homeland.

Iran Is A Country That Talks About, Denies The Holocaust, Promises To Wipe Out Israel, Is Engaged In Terror Throughout The World. This Is A Regime That Is Giving Vent To The Worst Impulses That You See Right Now In The Middle East. They Deny The Rights Of Women, Deny Democracy, Brutalize Their Own People, Don't Give Freedom Of Religion.

Israel Is Very Much Endangering.

I Think It's My Responsibility, To Speak Up When Something Threatens Our Very Future.

Most Of The Approaches To Peace Between Israel And The Palestinians, Have Been Directed At Trying To Resolve The Most Complex Problems, Like Refugees And Jerusalem, Which Is Akin To Building The Pyramid From The Top Down.

I Don't Want A One-state Solution. I Want A Sustainable, Peaceful Two-state Solution, But For That Circumstances Have To Change.

If We Accept The Notion That Terrorists Will Have Immunity Because As They Fire On Civilians They Hide Behind Civilians, Then This Tactic Will Be Legitimized And The Terrorists Will Have Their Greatest Victory.

Greatest Victory

The People Of Israel Have Come Home Never To Be Uprooted Again.

Populism Is Dangerous.

I Don't Want A One-state Solution. But I Certainly Don't Want A Zero-state Solution, A No-state Solution, Where Israel's Very Existence Would Be Jeopardized. And That's What The People Of Israel Overwhelmingly Elected Me To Do.

The Truth Is That If Israel Were To Put Down Its Arms There Would Be No More Israel. If The Arabs Were To Put Down Their Arms There Would Be No More War.

I Don't Know Of Any Army That Does More Than An Israeli Army Does To Avoid Civilian Casualties. But Incidental And Unintended Casualties Accompany Every War.

[the Decision To Travel To Washington And Deliver The Speech] Has Injected A Degree Of Partisanship, Which Is Not Only Unfortunate, I Think It's Destructive Of The Fabric Of The Relationship

They're In The Red Zone. They're In The Last 20 Yards, And You Can't Let Them Cross That Goal Line. You Can't Let Them Score A Touchdown, Because That Would Have Unbelievable Consequences, Grievous Consequences For The Peace And Security Of Us All, Of The World Really.

The Idea Of Imposing Peace From The Outside Doesn't Work.

You Know, I Said In The U.n., I Said To President Abbas, "look, We're In The Same City, We're In The Same Building, For God's Sake, The U.n. Let 's Just Sit Down And Begin To Talk Peace."

I Don't Think You Can Rely On Iran. I Don't Think You Can Rely On Other Radicals Like The Taliban. They Dispatched Al Qaida To Bomb New York And Washington. What Were They Thinking? Were They That Stupid? They Weren't Stupid. There Is An Irrationality There, And There Is Madness In This Method.

I Told John Kerry And General Allen, The Americans’ Expert, ‘we Live Here, I Live Here, I Know What We Need To Ensure The Security Of Israel’s People.’

The Real Reason We Haven't Had Peace Is Because Of A Persistent Refusal Of The Palestinians To Recognize A Jewish State In Any Border.

You Know, I Think, I Think The Palestinians Are Trying To Get Away Without Negotiating. They're Trying To Get A State To Continue The Conflict With Israel Rather Than To End It. They're Trying To Basically Detour Around Peace Negotiations By Going To The U.n. And Have The Automatic Majority In The U.n. General Assembly Give Them, Give Them A State.

If There Is A Birthrate Demographic Problem, And There Is, It Is With The Non-white Races Israeli Arabs Who Are American Will Remain Israeli Citizens.

I'm Not Consumed With Political Machinations.

Donald Trump Feels Very Warmly About The Jewish State, About The Jewish People And About Jewish People. There's No Question About That.

You Can Only End A Negotiation For Peace If You Begin It.

We [israel People] Always Blame Moses, That He Was Our Greatest Leader And One Of The Most Gifted People In The World. He Brought Us The Moral Code And So On, Belief In One God, But Then He Was A Bad Navigator. He Brought Us To The Only Part Of The Middle East Without Any Gas, Without Any Oil.

Israel Should Have Exploited The Repression Of The Demonstrations In China, When World Attention Focused On That Country, To Carry Out Mass Expulsions Among The Arabs Of The Territories.

We'll Attack Anyone Who Tries To Harm Our Citizens.

The Minute Mr. Putin Decided To Put His Military Forces In Syria, I Went To See Him. And I Said, "look, Here's What I'm Doing. I'm Not Intervening In Syria. But At The Same Time, If Syria Tries To Intervene With Us, If Iran Tries To Use Syria To Attack Us, We'll Stop It.
