Money does not buy anyone the right to tell Israel what to do, but long-term involvement, dialogue, and care demand that we must listen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have organized lobbyists in favor of Israel. You can't open your mouth. I can call the president of the United States anything in the book, but if you say one thing about Israel, and you're off limits.
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.
Israel is prepared for a compromise. The majority of Israelis understand this compromise will be serious, will be meaningful, and will be painful.
I don't know that there is one serious American representative that will advise Israel to sit with a terrorist government and negotiate with them.
It often takes time for the Israeli government to get things done.
Israel must take decisions that are good to Israel. We must not try to satisfy anyone else, including our closest ally, the United States of America.
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.
You know, it is very clear that the Israelis, they don't want this plan and they don't agree.
Israel is an independent country with a large army, and it has the ability to do what it thinks is right.
You have to show Israel that it's not going to be forced to do things it doesn't want to do and can't do.
