We are fighting to keep Israel a democracy - not just in terms of its electoral system but also in terms of its values.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Israel cannot be a democracy if it occupies land of other people.
We want Israel as a democratic and Jewish state. So you have to maintain a Jewish majority, and you want to do that by legal means, by democratic means.
Since Israel is a democratic state surrounded by essentially undemocratic states which have sworn her destruction, those interested in democracy everywhere must support Israel's existence.
The idea that the State of Israel could be democracy only for its Jewish citizens is unconscionable, and we must find a way to address this.
Israel is the only democracy in this part of the world.
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
I think we need to change the system of elections in order to give less power to some sectors in Israeli society.
Israel is prepared for a compromise. The majority of Israelis understand this compromise will be serious, will be meaningful, and will be painful.
My goal is always to keep support for Israel a bi-partisan issue and never make a national election any kind of referendum on Israel.
We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel, and between the American and Israeli people. We share common values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world, and we are both committed to a two-state solution. But that doesn't mean that we're going to agree.
