After I retire, I have my own vision, which is not connected to the state of Israel. It's about me, living near the sea, and maybe writing something about the past.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Israel is my past. My two boys are my future.
I want to do good for Israel. My philosophy is let's do good stuff, and let's see what happens. And que sera, sera.
At the age of nineteen and a half, I went to the Land of Israel to till its soil and live by the labour of my hands. As I did not find work, I sought my livelihood elsewhere.
I am focused on what needs to be done for the people of Israel. Period. I do not pity myself and I do not pat myself on the shoulder. I get up in the morning full of energy to fulfill my mission.
Somehow, the rare trips to Tel Aviv give me the feeling that I have a career.
To the citizens of Israel, I say: we have passed difficult years, faced the most painful experiences and overcame them. The future lies before us. We are required to take difficult and controversial steps, but we must not miss the opportunity to try to achieve what we have wished for, for so many years: security, tranquillity and peace.
I want people to have a good impression of Israel. I don't feel like I'm an ambassador for my country, but I do talk about Israel a lot - I enjoy telling people about where I come from and my religion.
I'm going into politics because I think that the kind of discourse taking place in Israel is leading this country to oblivion, and I want to change it.
My identity is always at the forefront, and I also think that every article that is written about me refers to me as an Israeli architect.
My goal is to embrace the people, the 'natural resources' of Israel, and to build businesses with the creative Israelis.
