The Arabs are ready to accept a strong Israel with nuclear arms - all it has to do is open the gates of its fortress and make peace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Israel claims it needs nuclear weapons as a deterrent against any threat to its existence. The Arab world in return feels that this is an imbalanced system; there is a sense of humiliation and impotence.
I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.
There are signs that the Arab states are beginning to realize that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to the entire region, and not just to Israel.
What Israel wants is peace with - and the acknowledgment of - all the Arab countries.
The Palestinian Arabs will have their autonomy, we will have our security. We shall live together.
Most Israelis have a sense, 'We just don't want to live in the Middle East anymore. We don't want it to be the Middle East. Were going to just build a wall or operate unilaterally' - not try to even use force as used to be the case to convince Arabs to accept Israel by convincing them that Israel is here to stay and then negotiating.
I've been involved in ties with elements in the Arab world for years now. They wish to establish relations with Israel, but they cannot do so while there is no peace process.
I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders.
The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.
The Israelis would like to live in peace within their borders; the Arabs would like to kill them all.
