Quote

I am a Zionist.

You are either a Zionist or an anti-Zionist.

Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist.

Look, you're either a Zionist or an anti-Zionist: there's no middle way. Everyone who supports the state of Israel is a Zionist.

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.

I've always been supportive of the right of Israel as a state, and I've always fought against anti-Semitism, even in my own community.

From the day I started to think politically and to develop my own moral values, from my earliest youth, I have been an ardent defender of Israel.

I have been, and will remain, outspoken in my insistence that Israel has a right to live in peace and security.
