I don't want to govern the Palestinians. I don't want them as subjects of Israel or as citizens of Israel. I want them to have their own independent state but a demilitarized state.

There is a great danger to the world, not only to my country [Israel] but to the United States, to the Middle East, to peace, to all of humanity, from the prospect that such regimes that brutalize its own people, that sponsors terrorism more than any other regime in the world - that this regime acquires atomic bombs is very, very dangerous.

We will respond with a heavy hand to the brutal murder of Jews who came to pray and were killed by lowly murderers.

Well, this is an unfortunate part of the UN institution. It's the - the theater of the absurd. It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi's Libya chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq headed the UN Committee on Disarmament.

But ... the days that the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over.

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.

The people of Israel have come home never to be uprooted again.
