He acted on behalf of 6 million people who could no longer defend themselves. The state of Israel, the Jewish people and all those who oppose racism recognized Simon Wiesenthal's unique contribution to making our planet a better place. |
He called for the destruction of our country, of another UN member, and we don't believe the international community can let this stand. We've raised the issue with the secretary general and at the Security Council. |
I hope the sort of remarks we heard today help to dissolve any possible illusion that might exist as to the true character of this new Palestinian leadership. |
I know the Israeli negotiating team, headed by our foreign minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami, left here with a feeling, with a sense that we do have something to work with and it is possible to move forward. |
I think we should use the word cautious optimism. |
I think we're hopeful that there will be meetings with Muslim leaders. There's an enhanced understanding in the international community of what this prime minister has done to try to create a more positive situation between us and the Palestinians. |
I'm hopeful that in the next few days we can reach understandings that can allow the maximum possible flow. It's in everyone's interest, including our own, that Gaza will be a success story. |

If Abbas can act against anyone, it would seem to be them. |
If it acts outside international norms, if it acts outside accepted international behavior, then it can't be surprised if the international community starts to treat it like a pariah. |
If money to the budget of the PA is cut off, it's incumbent on all of us to make a maximum effort to beef up direct humanitarian aid to alleviate hardship. |
If the PA acts like a pariah, then they can't be surprised if they're being treated like a pariah. |
If there is a financial crisis in the Palestinian Authority today, that is largely due to their irresponsible pocketbook electioneering. |
If they chose to act like a pariah, they can't blame the international community for treating them like one. |
