“Some will criticize me no matter what I do.”

The prime minister of Israel is welcome to speak in the United States, obviously. But we don’t want to see this turned into some great political football

I’m not naturally manipulative.

History has shown us time and again that what is right is not what is popular.

Hamas is simply continuing all its operations. And Israel will not let this terror operation decide when it’s convenient for them and not convenient for them to attack our people.

I don’t think Israel can accept an Iranian terror base next to its major cities any more than the United States could accept an al Qaeda base next to New York City.

The application of military force, or the prospect of such application, inhibits terrorist violence.

[The decision to travel to Washington and deliver the speech] has injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it’s destructive of the fabric of the relationship

I 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.

I will go to the UN General Assembly and, in a clear voice, tell the nations of the world the truth about Iran’s terrorist regime, which constitutes the greatest threat to world peace.

I think that anyone who moves to establish a Palestinian state and evacuate territory gives territory away to radical Islamist attacks against Israel.

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

To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.

Israel has to accommodate the Palestinian demands and aspirations for ending occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That is the only answer.

I don’t think you can rely on Iran. I don’t think you can rely on other radicals like the Taliban. They dispatched Al Qaida to bomb New York and Washington.

If 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.

Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

For some that will mean getting the help or expertise of a counselor that can help them walk through and navigate through some of the traumatic things that they’ve been through in their life.

So I wanted to play bad guys. But I’ve been doing that now for 13 years so when I was offered the chance to do some comedy, I grabbed it.

I expect that my readers have been to Europe, I expect them to have some feeling for a foreign language.

It’s exciting to be with really, really good people. Some people make you feel like you’ve got to up your game.

I don’t avoid anyone but I always think some people hate me.

Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries

Some local boys come in and there is a bit of chat between them and the fish-fryer about whether the kestrel under the counter is for sale.
