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

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

Call Irreplaceable United States
I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: Today, we are all Americans. In grief, as in defiance.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Grief September Speak
They’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 NETANYAHU

Country Goal Last Red Yard Zone

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

If diplomacy has any chance to work, it must be coupled with a credible military threat.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Chance Military Threat
I think they’re timid, they’re afraid to actually stand up to these killers. And I think that they’re afraid, maybe for their own sake, for their own political hides, sometimes for their own physical safety. And they don’t take that necessary plunge.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Killer Physical Sake Sometimes Think Timid
There’s no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Appreciate Country Support
But … the days that the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

And by the way, a piece of news, Israel is the one country in which everyone is pro-American, opposition and coalition alike.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country Place Thank You
When I say that terrorism is war against civilization, I may be met by the objection that terrorists are often idealists pursuing worthy ultimate aims — national or regional independence, and so forth. I do not accept this argument.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Civilization Impact Objection War
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.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country People World
The instability in the region is not a result of Israel and the Palestinians. That was never the cause of this instability. Instead, the disfunctionality of many of these societies that have failed to modernize.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Causes Country Palestinian Result
I’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 NETANYAHU

Country Free Party
The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Addresses Country Needs Opportunity
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.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

Country Make Organization Peace President
I don’t want a one-state solution. But I certainly don’t want a zero-state solution, a no-state solution, where Israel’s very existence would be jeopardized. And that’s what the people of Israel overwhelmingly elected me to do.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
