“I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.”

I think it’s my responsibility, to speak up when something threatens our very future.

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.

The entire world is focusing on the compromises that are necessary from Israel’s side. But people [in the world] are not focusing on the fact that the Palestinians refuse to make the necessary compromises that are required on their side for peace.

The relationship between Israel and the United States is a bond of – it’s just a very powerful bond. It was, it is, and will be and will continue to be.

But … the days that the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over.

Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down.

Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories.

Iran is a country that talks about, denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. This is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the Middle East.

Leaders must see reality as it is, not as it ought to be.

You know, I think, I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They’re trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it.

A legitimate democracy cannot act against a terror organization because it is using civilians as a human shield, and therefore it should absorb attacks on its own civilians.

I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that circumstances have to change.

They’re trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them, give them a state.

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.

I always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it on election day.

There is an irreplaceable ally. It’s called the United States of America.

This is how Americans think. You believe that if something terrible happens to someone, they must have deserved it.

We are experiencing a real confusion here in the United States, you know. Why is it OK to drink, but it’s not OK to take drugs?

The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.

The United States and Britain loved him. He was supported until the last minute.

The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default.

There will always be nations. The United States will last a long, long time.

I think first of all, the United States has got to adopt a policy of befriending and creating allies around the world.

They didn’t have to be a hoodlum, they didn’t have to be a gangster. They could stand up from a broken home, on welfare, and they could run for president of the United States.
