I'm not a single-issue person, but I spend so much time on Israel because it is so unfairly condemned around the world.

I feel there's a lot of anti-Israel sentiment in the world and a lot of ignorance about what Israel is and does. But it's not for me to speak on Israel's behalf.

I have absolute respect for Israel and people in Israel who are critical of their own country.

There's been a significant amount of Israelis who are joining my party because they think that Israel has to have a tough stance in this crazy environment called the Middle East.

I'm going into politics because I think that the kind of discourse taking place in Israel is leading this country to oblivion, and I want to change it.

I have been, and will remain, outspoken in my insistence that Israel has a right to live in peace and security.

After a long period of division, I will unite Israel.

I am an American Jew and aware of the sensitivities involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I am not against Israel, I am against Zionists.

I am against any reconciliation with Israel.
