America has some capabilities that Israel doesn't have. And Israel cannot place their security in the hands of Barack Obama; they can't do it.

I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.

Most Israelis do want to keep Israel safe. The question is how do you do that.

Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats... policies which choose expansion over security... policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That's not impossible.

There is no prospect that the United States will say to Israel, 'You do such and such and we'll not support you in your security.'

Israel doesn't have to hide anything.

Israel cannot afford to be duped.

Israel has the power to protect itself and its citizens.

Abu Mazen understands that it is impossible to vanquish Israel by means of terrorism.

Security is something that serves Israeli interests and Palestinian interests. You have a common threat and you have a common enemy and it's important to deal with that as partners.
