The international community must make pressure on Israel to recognize our right to get freedom, to fight against occupation, to have real peace, legitimacy on our ground. If the international community obliged Israel to do that, then they can come to us and ask us to take our step.
The most dangerous enemy to Israel's security is the intellectual inertia of those who are responsible for security.
May every one of us believe Him better, and have greater thoughts of Him, and never let us be guilty henceforth of confining, as it were, within iron bonds the limitless One of Israel.
You should make the world understand that Israel is the oppressor and that Israel must be destroyed.
I'm a man of history. My vision is guiding me, my clear vision. It is not by chance that the currents of peace are increasing daily inside Israel.
[The United States and Israel] share many common objectives. . . chief of which is the building of a better world in which every nation can develop its resources and develop them in freedom and peace.
President Obama Tastes the Bitter Fruit of Appeasement. . . of Israel, not Iran
Israel's international position is very badly damaged. A country which started off as a symbol of recovery of a people who were greatly persecuted now looks like a country that is persecuting people. And that's very bad.
My goal is to embrace the people, the 'natural resources' of Israel, and to build businesses with the creative Israelis.
My constant prayer, my number one foreign goal, is to bring peace to Israel. And in the process to Israel's neighbours.
Look, we have existed for 4,000 years - 2,000 years in diaspora, in exile. Nobody in the Middle East speaks their original language but Israel. When we started 64 years ago, we were 650,000 people. So, you know, we are maybe swimming a little bit against the stream, but we continue to swim.
Luckily I was not born in Eastern Europe, because I might have been born into the communist establishment and I'm glad I was not. But in Israel, communists were dissidents. So you grow up in an environment which is very critical of Israeli policies.
The extremists are talking too loudly, and everyone is convinced that only he is on the right side. It’s not just Jews against Arabs. It’s the Orthodox versus those who don’t think they can keep all six hundred and thirteen commandments of the Bible. It’s rich people versus poor people. At some point, something came over Israel so that everyone has his own ideas—and everyone else is an enemy. It’s a dialogue among deaf people and it is getting more and more serious.
It does irritate me when I am described as a controversialist and commentator on Israel.
I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders.
We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel. And you have to do the same.
Israel is extraordinary blessed to have [Benjamin Netanyahu] as prime minister at this pivotal time in history and so is the United States of America to hear his voice against this deal.
The Land of Israel needs a People and the People of Israel needs a Land.
Israel's economic and cultural progress is due to three things: the pioneering spirit that inspires the best of our immigrant and Israeli youth, who respond to the challenge of our desolute areas and the ingathering of the exiles; the feeling of Diaspora Jewry that they are partners in the enterprise of Israel's resurgence in the ancient homeland of the Jewish people; and the power of science, and technology which Israel unceasingly, and not without success, tries to enhance.
The one statetwo state debate is irrelevant as Israel and the US consolidate Greater Israel.
