If someone like my father chooses to criticise Israeli policies, it's not because he is a self-hating Jew, but because he is not prepared to live in a state of self-denial.

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

There's no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.

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.

One can criticize the Israeli government, but it is not fair to judge the people of Israel.

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

There are many Israelis who live abroad and love the country.

I am not a lover of Israel, of course. I have no reason to be. But I don't hate Jews.

I watched Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech before Congress, and I saw a man who loves his country with all his heart and soul. I also saw a strong leader, which is absolutely crucial for the safety of the Israeli people.

Wow, bad news. Mr. Obama now hates Israel because the Israelis want to build 1,600 apartments in their own capital city, Jerusalem. Russia hates Israel, too. So do the Europeans. So does Ban Ki-moon, a Korean who is secretary-general of the UN.
