I know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.

The Israeli government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, both in words and deeds. By contrast, the Palestinians are posing preconditions for renewing the diplomatic process in a way they have not done over the course of 16 years.

The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

We will take whatever action is necessary to protect our people, including against the terror tunnels that they are trying to dig against us.

You don't have people chanting 'Death to America' in Israel.

Those in the international community that refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.

If I have to reduce all of the laws of war into a single sentence, it is this. You divide the world into two, combatants and noncombatants. You can attack deliberately combatants, but not deliberately noncombatants. Israel acts that way. It attacks combatants and accidentally kills noncombatants. But in the case of the terrorists, it's the exact opposite. They deliberately attack combatants - noncombatants, civilians, deliberately.
