It's not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of their own, living their entire lives in the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements of the parents every single day.

More quotes by Mark Shields
If an abduction is reported, it is dealt with in the same way as a kidnap.
Mark Shields
When you think of pristine preservation of America, you immediately think of Tulsa and Oklahoma.
Mark Shields
Stronger together is, I think, a preposition and a comparative adjective, but it's not really an action verb or what it is.
Mark Shields
The single worst campaign slogan I have ever heard, is Hillary's Clinton, I'm with her, it means nothing. It absolutely means nothing to anybody. I mean, it's about appealing - and it says nothing about anybody's life, about the country.
Mark Shields
Donald Trump has taken over the Republican Party. He's transformed the Republican Party.
Mark Shields
The Democrats have to do what he did when [Rahm Emanuel] was chairman of the Democratic House Campaign Committee, recruit veterans, recruit football players, recruit business people. And I think that's what the job of the new party chair has to be.
Mark Shields
John McCain was victimized in the South Carolina primary.
Mark Shields
Franklin Roosevelt ran on a balanced budget in 1932, and the greatest president, certainly, of the 20th century. So the idea that you lay out a predicate right now, Donald Trump has recreated the Republican Party in his image.
Mark Shields
[Democrats] have got to start winning elections. That involves not some great idea, but it also involves recruiting candidates. And Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, who has given obnoxiousness a new definition in his personal behavior, oftentimes in his dealings with the press, had a very good point.
Mark Shields
The Sheldon Adelsons, the Koch brothers, the George Soroses, what we want to try to do is force them into the parties, not so that Kasich or whoever is going to straight to them and trying to kiss up to special interests, but so the parties have the power and they can direct the money.
Mark Shields
Immigrants have been the sustenance and the survival and the treasure of America.
Mark Shields
Americans don't like powerful figures who punch down, that is, who pick on someone less powerful and less able to speak for themselves than they are.
Mark Shields
Hillary Clinton should get a bounce out of her convention, I mean a bounce in the polls. I think it's probably conceded that Donald Trump got about a three-point bounce out of his conventions. He's closed the gap that much.
Mark Shields
You've got people who didn't serve with John Kerry saying they did serve with John Kerry in the boat. With George Bush, we can't find anybody who did serve with him.
Mark Shields
American education will be determined by the quality of American public education, and that's public schools that are available.
Mark Shields
The pattern of American presidential elections is that the more optimistic candidate, whether it's John Kennedy and let's get America moving again, Ronald Reagan, it's morning in America, or Barack Obama, yes, we can, always wins, or nearly always wins.
Mark Shields
Democrats can have a different version of the line, or they can just say, no, we are the party of international peace and activism, and we're the party that's going to have a civilized capitalism.
Mark Shields
At a time when the public is sour on politicians, have no use for them, Bill Clinton has risen to a different level. Bill Clinton is endlessly interesting.
Mark Shields
Since the election, since the formation of a government, the death in Iraq has increased. The United States stands by, helpless to do anything about it. That's the reality, not George Bush's revisionist history!
Mark Shields
It's fine to be an activist, but you're not - if you're not putting up candidates, if you're not getting political, if you're not in your party, then you're probably not going to have long-term change. You will probably dissipate.
