Arabs respect only the language of force.

We don't know what may yet happen to us, what military and political defeats we may yet have to face.

The state of Israel must, from time to time, prove clearly that it is strong, and able and willing to use force, in a devastating and highly effective way. If it does not prove this, it will be swallowed up, and perhaps wiped off the face of the earth.

Fear is the main factor in Arab politics... There is no Arab who is not harmed by Jews' entry into Palestine.

So we need people who will remain steadfast in any hardship and who have a high degree of resistance.

I have learned that the state of Israel cannot be ruled in our generation without deceit and adventurism.

An there is always the question: is it really proven that retaliatory actions solve the security problem?.
