A reprisal of this magnitude... has never been carried out before. I paced back and forth in my room perplexed and completely depressed, feeling helpless.

Our role in Israel is a pioneering one, and we need people with certain strength of fiber.

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

By the reduction of the Arabs on the one hand and Jewish immigration in the transition period on the other, we will ensure an absolute Hebrew majority in a parliamentary regime.

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.

Arabs respect only the language of force.

When the Jewish state is established - it is very possible that the result will be transfer of Arabs.
