If we thought that instead of 200 Palestinian fatalities, 2,000 dead would put an end to the fighting at a stroke, we would use much more force.

If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I'd eventually join one of the terrorist organizations.

The Arab leaders, they don't have a love affair with the Palestinians or the Palestinian leadership, but the publics have, and they cannot feel safe in their own chairs if they accept Israel, the mistress, so to speak, to acknowledge her as a main, the Unter den Linden, the main road, as long as we are not moving forward with the Palestinians.

The Israel legendary foreign minister, Abba Eban, used to say that the Palestinians had never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

I don't feel opportunistic ever, in anything.

I want to study, to write to live and have a good time.

I'm such a failed politician that all of my rivals have disappeared, on both sides.
