I want to say to you, friends, that the Jewish community in Palestine is going to fight to the very end. If we have arms to fight with, we will fight with those, and if not, we will fight with stones in our hands.

Golda Meir
Image
There will be peace in the Middle East only when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Israel.
Golda Meir
Image
Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.
Golda Meir
Image
It's no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do?.. Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either.
Golda Meir
Image
We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.
Golda Meir
Image
We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.
Golda Meir
Image
The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.
Golda Meir
Image
Don't become cynical. Don't give up hope. Don't believe that everything is judged only by expediency. There is idealism in this world. There is human brotherhood.
Golda Meir
Image
How can I explain the difference to me between America and Russia?.. the America I've known is a place where men on horseback escort union marchers, the Russia I've known is a place where men on horseback slaughter young Socialists and Jews.
