The Israelis wanted to sabotage the Palestinian – Palestinian reconciliation.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
So 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.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
Israel is doing what any other country would do, and certainly the U.S. would do. If 80 percent of your population were under fire and you had 60 seconds or 90 seconds to get into bomb shelters.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
You can make peace with an enemy, if the enemy abandons the idea of destroying you. That is the critical test. Democracies fail to understand what I just said.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
If Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
I think that anyone who moves to establish a Palestinian state and evacuate territory gives territory away to radical Islamist attacks against Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
I say that to my colleagues, by the way, in the internal Cabinet meetings, I say, ‘Look, I want to be very clear about what I want.’ I just – I don’t want a peace process, I want a peace result.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
Israel does not target civilians. It targets the terrorists.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU -
I cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. The impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil.
