My goal is always to keep support for Israel a bi-partisan issue and never make a national election any kind of referendum on Israel.

I believe that if Israel were to put an end to the settlements in the West Bank tomorrow, as it did in Gaza, there would still be reluctance on the part of the Palestinian Authority to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish secular democracy.
