More quotes by Yitzhak Rabin
There is no way of finding the middle ground, even with the best intentions of the world. Our most sensible policy is to stall.
Yitzhak Rabin
You have got to sit down and talk to people. You can't understand people from a distance.
Yitzhak Rabin
We are ready to compromise. We are ready to take calculated risks, but for a peace that will give us security.
Yitzhak Rabin
I was a military man for 27 years. I fought so long as there was no chance for peace. I believe that there is now a chance for peace, a great chance. We must take advantage of it for the sake of those standing here, and for those who are not here - and they are many.
Yitzhak Rabin
I admire King Hussein his courage in leading his country for a long time.
Yitzhak Rabin
I think the fact that we have been focussing on politics quite a lot and the tumult of politics rather than what we should be doing in terms of policy has made, I think, voters quite grumpy.
Yitzhak Rabin
[Israel will] create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank to Jordan. To achieve this we have to come to agreement with King Hussein and not with Yasser Arafat.
Yitzhak Rabin
I'll continue to carry out whatever we are committed to. Whatever we believe leads us to a permanent solution the way we want it, the way I want it.
Yitzhak Rabin
In the midst of fighting there is no place for public debate.
Yitzhak Rabin
If you have the same problem for a long time, maybe it's not a problem. Maybe it's a fact.
Yitzhak Rabin
Peace will be victorious.
Yitzhak Rabin
We can continue to fight. We can continue to kill - and continue to be killed. But we can also try to put a stop to this never-ending cycle of blood. We can also give peace a chance.
Yitzhak Rabin
It is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is backed by the kind of force that will make the other side consider the penalties too heavy to break the agreement.
Yitzhak Rabin
Enough of blood and tears. Enough!
Yitzhak Rabin
The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.
Yitzhak Rabin
I don't believe that in the name of the holiness of the city you have to put barbed wires, machine gun nests, mine pins and everything of that, in the name of the holiness of Jerusalem.
Yitzhak Rabin
Israel has an important principle: It is only Israel that is responsible for our security.
Yitzhak Rabin
No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.
Yitzhak Rabin
Peace is not made with friends. Peace is made with enemies.
Yitzhak Rabin
I am healthy. I wish all my colleagues to the peace process to be healthy.
Yitzhak Rabin
