You can't think about terrorism without thinking about Palestinian terrorism. Palestinians began international terrorism. It started with them in 1968. They used it as the first resort, not the last resort. They invented it, they perfected it, they benefited from it and they taught the world how to use it and that it would be successful.

I think extremists within the base may very well move the Democratic party away from its pro-Israel position.

Such technological tools ... are helping us now in the hot war against terrorists who would bomb this theater if they had the capacity to do so.

There’s simply nothing in there that would justify second degree murder.

I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it; also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right.

I feel like my 50 years at Harvard were an interlude. I'm really a New Yorker.

I'm not a single-issue person, but I spend so much time on Israel because it is so unfairly condemned around the world.
