Jewish people are tough people. They believe in something and believe it really strong, and I find it fascinating that a small country like Israel is as powerful as it is.

Every leaving of a Jewish community is a most difficult thing.

Jews can live their own life as Jews and yet be part of a different country.

To me the notion that Palestinians are actually Jews is, I think, quite revelatory and very radical and a possible bridge that has been ignored, I think, in this entire controversy and there's ample evidence to support it.

For the Arabs in Israel there is always a tension between nationality and identity.

As a matter of fact, part of being Jewish is the whole question of what it is to be a Jew.

It's very hard to talk about Palestine to Jewish people - they see me as a betrayer.

We're willing to make difficult and hard decisions and compromises to live in peace with our neighbours, but we're entitled to our own country where Jews from around the world can come here, just as Palestinians from around the world can come to the Palestinian state.

I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there's this conflation of race, culture and religion.

It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.
