I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It's really above and beyond American politics.

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 think it's my responsibility, to speak up when something threatens our very future.

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

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 always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it on election day.

The Romans used to say that courage is not the only virtue, but it's the only one that makes the other virtues possible.
