The Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUWe don’t point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIntelligence is a critical thing.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI don’t know of any army that does more than an Israeli army does to avoid civilian casualties. But incidental and unintended casualties accompany every war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThey’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 NETANYAHUIf I have to reduce all of the laws of war into a single sentence, it is this. You divide the world into two, combatants and noncombatants.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUNo partial solution, not even the total redressing of the grievance he complains of, will satisfy him — until our social system is destroyed or delivered into his hands.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThis is why, as a prime minister of Israel, I can promise you one more thing: Even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand. But I know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUTo defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI think it’s my responsibility, to speak up when something threatens our very future.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI’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 NETANYAHUFirst of all, Arafat is wrong. Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, will never be divided, and will remain the capital of the State of Israel, the capital of the Jewish people, for ever and ever.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUHezbollah-controlled Lebanon now presides over the UN Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world’s security. You couldn’t make this thing up.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI’m very proud of the fact that Israel is the one country in a very broad radius that – in which Arabs have free and fair elections. That’s sacrosanct. That will never change. I wasn’t trying to suppress a vote.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUYou 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.”
