Benjamin Netanyahu

I think they’re timid, they’re afraid to actually stand up to these killers. And I think that they’re afraid, maybe for their own sake, for their own political hides, sometimes for their own physical safety. And they don’t take that necessary plunge.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Killer Physical Sake Sometimes Think Timid
The instability in the region is not a result of Israel and the Palestinians. That was never the cause of this instability. Instead, the disfunctionality of many of these societies that have failed to modernize.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Causes Country Palestinian Result
You know, I said in the U.N., I said to President Abbas, “Look, we’re in the same city, we’re in the same building, for God’s sake, the U.N. Let ‘s just sit down and begin to talk peace.”
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Cities Looks President
Israel can make peace with an organization that seeks its destruction. That’s Hamas. But Israel can make peace with the Palestinian Authority. It requires a lot of courage from both sides including President Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country Make Organization Peace President
As far as a nuclear weapons-free zone, you know, when the lion lies down with the lamb, and you don’t need a new lamb every day to satisfy the lion, then we might have this kind of transformation in the Middle East.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

East Lying Middle Needs
Israel has to accommodate the Palestinian demands and aspirations for ending occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That is the only answer.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Aspiration Demand Ending Establishment Independent
The rules of engagement have become so rigid that governments often straightjacket themselves in the face of unambiguous aggression.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Engagement Faces Government
They’re in the red zone. They’re in the last 20 yards, and you can’t let them cross that goal line. You can’t let them score a touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences for the peace and security of us all, of the world really.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country Goal Last Red Yard Zone
Throw people from the sixth floor, their own people. … They’re the enemies of peace, they’re the enemies of Israel, they’re the enemies of all civilized countries. And I believe they’re the enemies of the Palestinians themselves.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Believe Country Enemies Important People Saving
So I think we should stay focused on the real problem in the Middle East. It’s not Israel. It’s these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping Israel away.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country Dictatorship Middle Real Thinking
I can tell you one thing, Iran is closer to developing nuclear weapons today than it was a week ago, or a month ago or a year ago. It’s just moving on with its efforts.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country Moving People Years
Why are we talking about talking? Why negotiating about negotiating? It’s very simple. If you want to get to peace, put all your preconditions on the side, sit down opposite a table, not in a studio, by the way.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Opposites Simple Talking
I will go to the UN General Assembly and, in a clear voice, tell the nations of the world the truth about Iran’s terrorist regime, which constitutes the greatest threat to world peace.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Clear General Voice World
I’m not intervening in Syria. But at the same time, if Syria tries to intervene with us, if Iran tries to use Syria to attack us, we’ll stop it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Attack Country Intervening Stop Tries
The real reason we haven’t had peace is because of a persistent refusal of the Palestinians to recognize a Jewish state in any border.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Border Real Reason
When I say that terrorism is war against civilization, I may be met by the objection that terrorists are often idealists pursuing worthy ultimate aims — national or regional independence, and so forth. I do not accept this argument.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Civilization Impact Objection War
