issue move
With the Palestinians, I think we have started to move closer, also on the issue of reciprocity,
zero trying stories
My level of intervention in the press, trying to control stories, is zero. Subzero.
fashion religious fighting
Terrorism is carried out purposefully, in a cold-blooded, calculated fashion. The declared goals of the terrorist may change from place to place. He supposedly fights to remedy wrongs -- social, religious, national, racial. But for all these problems his only solution is the demolition of the whole structure of society. 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.
leader want palestinian
Every time an Arab leader truly wanted peace, they got it. If the Palestinians truly want peace, we will make peace.

I'm a proud member of the rabble.
country czech-republic canada
The Czech Republic stood with the U.S., Canada and a handful of other countries against the prevailing international current, but history has shown us time and again that what is right is not what is popular.

To subdivide this land into two unstable, insecure nations, to try to defend what is indefensible, is to invite disaster. Carving Judea and Samaria out of Israel means carving up Israel.

The Romans used to say that courage is not the only virtue, but it's the only one that makes the other virtues possible.
opportunity needs addresses
The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

We are using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles.
humanity nuclear weapons
The greatest threat facing humanity is a radical Islamist regime meeting up with nuclear weapons.
independent israel citizens
I don't want to govern the Palestinians. I don't want them as subjects of Israel or as citizens of Israel. I want them to have their own independent state but a demilitarized state.
real iraq rights
Well, this is an unfortunate part of the UN institution. It's the - the theater of the absurd. It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi's Libya chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq headed the UN Committee on Disarmament.
commitment past government
The Israeli government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, both in words and deeds. By contrast, the Palestinians are posing preconditions for renewing the diplomatic process in a way they have not done over the course of 16 years.
