I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.

I dont know that there is one serious American representative that will advise Israel to sit with a terrorist government and negotiate with them.

When you fight for the impossible, sometimes you lose everything.

Israeli lives are worth more than Palestinian ones.

For thousands of years, we Jews have been nourished and sustained by a yearning for our historic land. I, like many others, was raised with a deep conviction that the day would never come when we would have to relinquish parts of the land of our forefathers. I believed and to this day still believe in our people's eternal and historic right to this entire land.

I'm not in power, but my ideas are in power. And my ideas will prevail.
