The Arabs of the land of Israel [ Palestinians] have only one functionleft to them -- to run away.

When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the government of Israel.

Those who today murdered our people in an ambush not only plotted to murder some Jews but intended to provoke us... The Arabs stand to gain from such a development. They want the country to be in a state of perpetual pogrom.... Any further bloodshed [by the Jews] will only bring political advantage to the Arabs and harm us... Our strength is in the defense... and this strength will give us political victory if England and the world will know that we are defending ourselves rather than attacking.

The test of democracy is freedom of criticism.

We regard it as our duty to declare that Jewish Jerusalem is an organic and inseparable part of the State of Israel, as it is an inseparable part of the history of Israel, of the faith of Israel.

You must talk to us as equals, or not talk to us at all.

The law is whatever people determine it to be.
