More quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu

Image
The history of warfare has not yet enabled any army, any civilized army, the army of a democracy like Israel, to be able to deal with a ruthless terrorist enemy that uses civilians as a human shield without having some incidental civilian casualties.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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
Image
I often hear them accuse Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem. That's like accusing America of Americanizing Washington, or the British of Anglicizing London. You know why we're called 'Jews'? Because we come from Judea.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin - Binyamin - the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Samaria 4,000 years ago, and there's been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since.

The Israelis wanted to sabotage the Palestinian - Palestinian reconciliation.
Benjamin Netanyahu

I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It's really above and beyond American politics.

Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Anyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state, anyone who is going to evacuate territories today, is simply giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel.

When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy!
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I don't think that anyone should doubt Israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Those in the international community that refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Intelligence is a critical thing.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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
Image
You know, I think, I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They're trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They're trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them, give them a state.

I can tell you one thing, Iran is closer to developing nuclear weapons today than it was a week ago, or a month ago or a year ago. It's just moving on with its efforts.
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.
