Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist.

If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

We could not guard every water pipeline from being blown up and every tree from being uprooted. We could not prevent every murder of a worker in an orchard or a family in their beds.

We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and gun barrel, we shall not be able to plant a tree or build a house.

If I had to resign every time the Cabinet disagrees with me, I could not last as a Defense Minister one week.

I know that plans and reality may be two different things, but I think my demands on life are minimal.

I have traveled a long road from the battlefield to the peace table.

There is no more Palestine. Finished.

Israel cannot afford to stand against the entire world and be denounced as the aggressor.

Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.

I have the strength to endure it all.

Soldiers of Israel, we have no aims of conquest. Our purpose is to bring to naught the attempts of the Arab armies to conquer our land.

The Old City of Jerusalem is in our hands.

I don’t think we should be a model family living in a model home.

The Jews have opened fire, and they are unready to begin a war.

Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist.

Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.

We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves. Let us make our reckoning today.

After all, we are not children. It’s time we planned our life.

I have only one eye. Do you want me to look at the road or the at the speedometer.

To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger.

It was in our power to set high price for our blood, a price too high for the Arab community, the Arab army, or the Arab governments to think it worth paying.

It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce the policy of strength toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness.

We are a small nation, but strong.

There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.

It’s a democracy and if I am outvoted, I have to accept the majority decisions.

It isn’t a secret that my heart is damaged. All the treatments and medications haven’t been effective.

Most important, don’t do anything you don’t want.

Who needs such a long intestine, anyway?
