Much of what we know about mathematics and trade comes from the Arabs. Then came stagnation, and now they're the West's whipping boy. This is a problem that cannot be solved overnight, and certainly not militarily.

Europeans are familiar with terrorism and violence. We have not experienced a true conflict on our soil in a hundred years, and especially not one that involved 3,000 dead.

I think America has to do more than be a broker now. Because both the Palestinians are weak and Israel is very weak.

Yes, Israel's our ally. But, are the Palestinians our enemy? No, they are not.

Progress is only possible if the United States and its allies work together.
