Image
But the individual was not a tool for something. He was the maker of tools. He was the one who must build. Even for the best purpose it is criminal to turn an individual into simply a means for some ultimate end. A society in which the dignity of the individual is destroyed cannot hope to be a decent society.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist.
Golda Meir
Image
The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.

Image
Arab sovereignty in Jerusalem just cannot be. This city will not be divided - not half and half, not 60-40, not 75-25, nothing.

Being seventy is not a sin. It's not a joy, either.

Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.

It is always much easier, I have discovered, to make people cry or gasp than to make them think.

A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
