More quotes by Shimon Peres
In order to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear country you have to introduce a system of verification and inspection.
Shimon Peres
The history of Israel is divided into two parts. One, under attack that we have had to defend ourselves. When you defend yourself your thinking is totally different from when you want to make peace. So under attack you behave like if you want a hawk, when peace comes you become a dove.
Shimon Peres
Without freedom you cannot have real peace.
Shimon Peres
Can any church help us to win a war? If you can't help us win a war, then please don't press us.
Shimon Peres
Peace with the Palestinians will open ports of peace all around the Mediterranean. The duty of leaders is to pursue freedom ceaselessly, even in the face of hostility, in the face of doubt and disappointment. Just imagine what could be.
Shimon Peres
You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.
Shimon Peres
The Iranian regime suppresses its own people as well as others in the region. It prevents peace by sponsoring terror globally. With the ultimate weapon that it is deceptively developing, the regime aims to gain hegemony over the entire Middle East and hold the world's economy hostage.
Shimon Peres
When you have two alternatives, the first thing you have to do is to look for the third that you didn't think about, that doesn't exist.
Shimon Peres
The Middle East is replete with both new and old threats. One should not underestimate these threats, but not be alarmed by them either. Israel is stronger today than ever.
Shimon Peres
It's better to be controversial for the right reasons, than to be popular for the wrong reasons.
Shimon Peres
Governments are based on power, companies are based on goodwill, which allows them to invest in the future.
Shimon Peres
I was learning, as I did in the Ministry of Defense. I never knew, but I always learned.
Shimon Peres
I think peace should be done not only among governments but among people. It was impossible before the Facebook.
Shimon Peres
Look, we have existed for 4,000 years - 2,000 years in diaspora, in exile. Nobody in the Middle East speaks their original language but Israel. When we started 64 years ago, we were 650,000 people. So, you know, we are maybe swimming a little bit against the stream, but we continue to swim.
Shimon Peres
You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress.
Shimon Peres
Palestinians are becoming religiously fanatic. Israel is becoming irrelevant. They do it for religious purpose, fanatic, they want to conquer the Middle East under the command of the Iranians.
Shimon Peres
What is wrong with the Iranians in addition to the nuclear bomb? This is the only country on Earth in the 21st century that has renewed imperialistic ambitions. They really want to become the hegemon of the Middle East in an age that gave up imperialism.
Shimon Peres
If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time.
Shimon Peres
[Hamas] lives on their rifles and bombs.
Shimon Peres
In the Middle East, the conflict today is a matter of generations and not of cultures.
