Bibi Netanyahu believes our people are strong. We will be ready for painful concessions but only when and if we have a partner we can live together with, who also wants to live in peace. |
Democracy isn't hocus-pocus; it's a process. An election between a terrorist organization that wants to destroy the state of Israel and a corrupt dictatorship that does not care about helping its own people is not democracy. The results of the election were clean but it has nothing to do with democracy. |
I ask you all to pray for a miracle. We all hope a miracle will happen so Ariel Sharon can come back to his family, to his people. |
I think we are coming very close to the point where the major decisions have to be made, ... There are still some very serious issues that have to be resolved. I do hope that in the next week, or something like this, a breakthrough will be made. |
If he will succeed, if terror will be stopped, then no doubt the road to peace will be open, |
If the agreement will be based on the transfer of tens of thousands of Jews, if the agreement will be based on concessions on Jerusalem, no doubt this agreement has no chance to win the support of the Israeli people, |
If the U.S. or the Palestinians think we will give up Jerusalem, they are wrong. |
It will be very difficult to have such serious discussions or fruitful discussions with the atmosphere of elections because, of course, those decisions will become part of the political issues for the electoral debate, |
It's as if nothing is being done, ... The public has been assured that there would be a solution for every family, but not one family here has any idea where they will be a week from now. |
It's better to have a clear plan -- even if it will mean that he will lose some of the support on the right or the left -- than to have no plan, and as a result constantly to risk (losing) the support of everybody. |
Terrorists will turn any concession into a weapon against us. It will happen again and again and again. |
The prime minister is traveling without trying to make consensus here. I prefer to be with the majority. |
the times of a communist dictator. |
They said they had no preference and that they would not repeat the mistakes of those who tried to interfere with Israel elections in the past. |
To go again over the history of the struggle of resistance ... and to think 'Where are all these people today? Where is the KGB?' is very inspiring, |
