I know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe people of Israel will have to be convinced that the Palestinians are ready for peace.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUA 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.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI think that anyone who moves to establish a Palestinian state and evacuate territory gives territory away to radical Islamist attacks against Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUAnd I represent the entire people of Israel who say, ‘Thank you, America.” And we’re friends of America, and we’re the only reliable allies of America in the Middle East.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI don’t want a single state. And I talked about two states where a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the Jewish state, and I stand by that. I haven’t retracted my position; I haven’t changed it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUYou can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIn order to restore security for Israeli citizens, every home, mother and child in Israel, and to establish a stable and strong government that will unite the nation…I hereby declare my candidacy.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUHamas is responsible and Hamas should held accountable for civilian deaths.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIf the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel’
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI often hear them accuse Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem. That’s like accusing America of Americanizing Washington, or the British of Anglicizing London. You know why we’re called ‘Jews’? Because we come from Judea.
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 NETANYAHUHamas is firing at our cities, at our people, firing from these areas, from these homes, from these schools, from mosques, from hospitals. They are actually using them as weapon storage, as command posts and as firing positions, or right next to them.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUTo defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUAs 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 NETANYAHUSo for Europeans we are like Belgiums in the Congo, or the French in Alger, or the British in India. Strange interlopers in somebody else’s land. But in fact, we [Israeli] have been here for 4,000 years. This is our ancestral homeland.
