The greatest tragedy of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that everyone knows how it will end. We will divide up the region.

I felt that we had become a society ruled by sectors, by interest groups: Whoever's connected to the Israeli government gets more.

Me and apparently a lot of other people felt that the people who should benefit most from the country are the people who contribute the most, which is the middle class, who are drafted into the army, spend three years there and 25 years in the reserves. That is why I had enough votes to create out of nowhere the second-largest party in the country.

I decided to go into politics because my children are growing up, and I became worried about the ways things are being handled in this country. I felt there's a lost generation of people who feel misrepresented, and that they're doing their best for the country but the country is not doing its best for them. We are all looking at our children and wondering whether or not they will see their future in Israel. They looked at the country before the last elections and saw it becoming more and more Orthodox. There was a strong sense of unfairness.

I don't think Israel's becoming more religious, I think its politics is becoming more religious. There's a difference.

I used to have so many opinions before I learned the facts.

When you look at the history of wars, they ultimately revolve around one claim: "My god is better than yours."
