On the other hand, we have in Israel, an Israeli government which has been elected by the Israeli people. Their political agenda is not for peace. They are from the camp anti-peace.

It's remarkable that the failures of the Obama, Clinton, Kerry foreign policy are not only uniting the Left and Right in Israel but might even be creating some common ground between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The government of Israel doesn't like the kinds of things I say, which puts them into the same category as every other government in the world.

For a good chunk of Israelis, it doesn't matter who is in power when it comes to dealing with the Palestinians. Their focus was more on economic issues.

Israel is an independent country with a large army, and it has the ability to do what it thinks is right.

Since Israel is a democratic state surrounded by essentially undemocratic states which have sworn her destruction, those interested in democracy everywhere must support Israel's existence.

Israel is much more effective when the Israelis are convinced that we are on the moral high ground: that we are acting not just out of might, but also out of right.

I am often critical of Israel's policies when in the country, but then feel defensive of them when overseas.

In Israel, generally speaking, politics is much more familiar than any other place. We all know each other.

Israel is the only country in the world that is ready to make compromises - even though it did not lose any wars.
