Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.

It's not a matter of maintaining the status quo. We have to create a dynamic state, oriented towards expansion.

It's not enough to be up to date, you have to be up to tomorrow.

If an expert says it can't be done, get another expert.

Everybody sees a difficulty in the question of relations between Arabs and Jews. But not everybody sees that there is no solution to this question. No solution!
