Israel has a right to defend itself.

I think it suffices to say that Israel has the right to defend itself.

I have always thought that Israel, as an independent and sovereign nation, had a right to defend itself.

Israel has the power to protect itself and its citizens.

If America has the right to target Osama bin Laden, or terrorists, of course Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorism.

I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.

Since its very inception, Israel has been a threat.

To the extent that Israel does face threats, like from say Hamas or Hezbollah, those are threats that do not jeopardise Israel's existence.

Israel has an important principle: It is only Israel that is responsible for our security.

My conviction is that the best strategy to defend the West is to defend Israel.
