Israel's security policy is determined by our needs. I strongly reject all the unfounded publicity suggesting that Israel is prevented from taking action because of international pressure.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.
There is no prospect that the United States will say to Israel, 'You do such and such and we'll not support you in your security.'
I am often critical of Israel's policies when in the country, but then feel defensive of them when overseas.
Israel must take decisions that are good to Israel. We must not try to satisfy anyone else, including our closest ally, the United States of America.
Israel has an important principle: It is only Israel that is responsible for our security.
I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.
It is natural that we should always expect an Israeli attack, even when it does not threaten.
It kind of scares me, the notion that we're going to be injecting ourselves into other countries' affairs when they're not posing a threat to our security. I wouldn't be telling Israel what to do.
I am not a supporter of Israel's military policy, let alone any kind of Zionist.
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.
