I know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and I reject them.

When I say compromise I do not mean capitulation. When I say compromise I definitely do not mean what Jesus Christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. Compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. And, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. That is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation.

If people are pro-Israel, they are pro-Israel one-hundred-and-twenty percent. If they are anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian, they tend to be pro-Palestinian one-hundred-and-twenty percent.

Universally, not only in Israel, people want to feel good about themselves. We all want to feel good to some extent.

Things can be translated, but they become different.

We lived through a relatively golden age between the end of World War II and Sept. 11, 2001.

My dream for Israel is peace, external and internal peace. I want Israel to live in peace with its neighbors and in peace with itself.
