Most of the Palestinians don't understand what they're doing... Politically, people can say what they want. The problem is not political, but religious.

More quotes by Shimon Peres
Polls are like perfume-nice to smell, dangerous to swallow.
Shimon Peres
Terrorists and murderers are so dangerous. We shouldn't fall victim to believe that they are immune.
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
Look, Israel doesn't intend to introduce nuclear weapons, but if people are afraid that we have them, why not? It's a deterrent.
Shimon Peres
Governments are based on power, companies are based on goodwill, which allows them to invest in the future.
Shimon Peres
The internet, Facebook and Twitter have created mass communications and social spaces that regimes cannot control.
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
You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.
Shimon Peres
In Israel, a land lacking in natural resources, we learned to appreciate our greatest national advantage: our minds. Through creativity and innovation, we transformed barren deserts into flourishing fields and pioneered new frontiers in science and technology.
Shimon Peres
He taught me literature, and he actually taught me how to read. He was my personal mentor.
Shimon Peres
Israel was born under the British mandate. We learned from the British what democracy means, and how it behaves in a time of danger, war and terror. We thank Britain for introducing freedom and respect of human rights both in normal and demanding circumstances.
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
Israel welcomes the wind of change, and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours' lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live.
Shimon Peres
We had a lot of support - don't give me the world, just the televisions. In America we enjoy support,China is neutral, India is for, in Europe they're divided.
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
We have to be reasonable people.
Shimon Peres
Leading the Jewish people is not easy -- we are a divided, obstinate, highly individualistic people who have cultivated faith, sharp wittedness and polemics to a very high level.
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
[Hamas] lives on their rifles and bombs.
Shimon Peres
Hamas married the Iranians. It was their choice. They are the same family.
