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! There is a gulf, and nothing can bridge it... We, as a nation, want this country to be ours; the Arabs, as a nation, want this country to be theirs.

Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs.

In the land of Israel was born the Jewish nation. There came an order to kill the religious and social spirit of the people. . . . And after the nation turned back to its land with strength, it protected it steadfastly. . . .

Let me first tell you one thing: It doesn't matter what the world says about Israel; it doesn't matter what they say about us anywhere else. The only thing that matters is that we can exist here on the land of our forefathers. And unless we show the Arabs that there is a high price to pay for murdering Jews, we won't survive.

We must do everything to ensure they [the Palestinians] never do return. The old will die and the young will forget,

It is in the Negev that the creativity and pioneer vigor of Israel shall be tested.

The State of Israel will prove itself not by material wealth, not by military might or technical achievement, but by its moral character and human values.
