Israel has the power to protect itself and its citizens.

Israel is a country that respects freedom - freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and freedom of worship.

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.

Israel has an important principle: It is only Israel that is responsible for our security.

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.

The people of Israel are entitled, as is any other nation, to live in peace and safety.

The State of Israel is a state that was formed before the people were even in it. You have to understand: In India, in Burma, in Pakistan - all of the people were already there. Their problem was for the English to leave so they could be independent.

Israel is a country that reacts vigorously when its citizens are fired upon, which is a good thing.

Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats... policies which choose expansion over security... policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That's not impossible.
