“No 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.”

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.

I don’t think that anyone should doubt Israel’s determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.

There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can’t send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.

If Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.

I’m very proud to be the prime minister of all of Israel’s citizens, Arabs and Jews alike.

The Palestinian society is split into two – those who are openly calling for Israel’s destruction like Hamas, and those who are not calling openly for Israel’s destruction but refuse to confront those who do. And that’s the Palestinian authority.

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.

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.

I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan.

Populism is dangerous.

When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy!

While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines…

Israel produces more conceptual products than any other country.

What were they thinking? Were they that stupid? They weren’t stupid. There is an irrationality there, and there is madness in this method.

Israel is very much endangering.

If the world powers are not prepared to insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal is signed, at the very least they should insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal expires.

As any psychologist will tell you, the worst thing you can possibly do to a woman is to deprive her of a grievance.

There is nothing perhaps so generally consoling to a man as a well-established grievance.

To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life.

Once you subscribe to an ideological dogma as a solution to certain grievances, it then frames your mindset.
