Half the published articles on Gaza contain a standard reference to its resemblance to a vast open-air prison (and when I last saw it under Israeli occupation it certainly did deserve this metaphor). The problem...

We must create a clear boundary as soon as possible, which will reflect the demographic reality on the ground. Israel will maintain control over the security zones, the Jewish settlement blocs, and those places which...

There is no Zionism except the rescue of Jews.

It is very obvious that Israel has left the Gaza Strip, and has no right to come back and cannot carry out any measures under any excuses. I condemn those firing rockets and I ask...

while Israel doesn’t recognize me as the victim.

The border between the State of Israel and the occupied Gaza Strip had always reminded him of the line between Tijuana and greater San Diego. There, too, ragged men the color of earth waited with...

Behind every act in Israel’s identity politics stretches, like a long black shadow, the idea of an eternal power and race.

When he talks to the Palestinians he thinks about a referendum in Israel … He is focusing on the Israeli that still doesn’t trust Arafat, that still remembers the terrorist attacks.

Israel has the right to defend itself and to deal with security, but Israel also has a need to bear in mind the consequences of action and Israel’s stake in development of reforms in the...

Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and most remarkable race which has appeared in the...

Israel’s having no alternative to peace implies Israel cannot survive without peace.

The bottom line is this: Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy,...

The question is to know whether Israel wants peace or not, and if it is ready to respect its international engagements, notably the roadmap.

This is the time for all Muslim and Arab countries to reconsider their relations with Israel. We think it will be a very positive signal to Israeli and Palestinian public opinion that there are some...

My identity as Jewish cannot be reduced to a religious affiliation. Professor Said quoted Gramsci, an author that I’m familiar with, that, and I quote, ‘to know thyself is to understand that we are a...

deal with those who have supported the people of Palestine in their struggle against Israel.

Actually—and this was where I began to feel seriously uncomfortable—some such divine claim underlay not just ‘the occupation’ but the whole idea of a separate state for Jews in Palestine. Take away the divine warrant...

Israel’s flexibility is dependent on its sense of security.

Why don’t we make Israel do it? … one of the concerns people have is that Israel might do it without being asked.

They were referring to the bones of the prisoners returned from Israel in the recent exchange, and he didn’t actually bless the bones, he blessed the process that freed them,

Israel must remove the two blue stripes from its national flag. The stripes on the flag are symbols of occupation. They signify Israel’s borders stretching from the River Euphrates to the River Nile.

The central committee members are well aware that Israel should not be plunged into another election campaign.

The fact is Israel is seizing this opportunity now and building this wall in order to confiscate land and to create policies on the ground and to have final negotiations by dictations rather than negotiations.

I think Israel will think one thousands times before invading Gaza.

First of all, Arafat is wrong. Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, will never be divided, and will remain the capital of the State of Israel, the capital of the Jewish people, for ever and ever.

Question: Which Mediterranean government shares all of Ronald Reagan’s views on international terrorism, the present danger of Soviet advance, the hypocrisy of the United Nations, the unreliability of Europe, the perfidy of the Third World...

I am a supporter of the state of Israel.

My conviction is that the best strategy to defend the West is to defend Israel.

Omer took a deep breath and stood up. ‘It’s a bad history without a doubt, he said. Nothing to be proud of.’ He closed his eyes, turning his face to the side, right into the...

If the Palestinian people really suffered a nakba, it was largely of their own making — and that of their grand mufti.

I would like Israel to be a Jewish state, and therefore not to annex over 2 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Israel, which will make Israel a...

The minute I land in Israel, everything will be clear and everyone will know.

Israel is not an aviary.

I’m a supporter of Israel, always have been.

The Jews are a peculiar people: Things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and...

I believe that the people of Israel are the chosen people of God.

He (her son) is just like his father, doesn’t listen to a word I say!

People who call themselves supporters of Israel are actually supporters of its moral degeneration and ultimate destruction.

I don’t hide my being Israeli. I say it in every interview. I put out a record with songs in Hebrew. The people who signed me have no connection to Judaism or Israel.

Oh American people, can you ask yourselves, why all this hate against America and against Israel, why?

I regard anti-Semitism as ineradicable and as one element of the toxin with which religion has infected us. Perhaps partly for this reason, I have never been able to see Zionism as a cure for...

One good way of measuring the mood in Israel is just how alert or relaxed the guards at every restaurant entrance appear to be.

The paradox of anti-Semitism is that it is invariably up to the Jews to explain away the charges. The anti-Semite simply has to make them.

The war with Israel is now opened.

Israel is undertaking all these illegal measures as the world watches and listens. Israel continues to commit these grave violations of international law … without any concern, acting as if it is a state above...

Hamas fired at Israeli sovereign territory after the disengagement, they killed innocent Palestinians at a rally and blamed Israel for it and to strengthen their lie they fired Qassam rockets on Sderot, … We will...

This is clear evidence that they (Israel) are trying to destroy the election in general.

But if Sharon wants to occupy Gaza, let him come. Israel will pay the price.

Israel is so tiny. It’s, you know, a little less than the length of Manhattan, without the West Bank, without Judea and Samaria.
