Send me a memo. I'll look into it.

Israel is a nation state. Nothing more; nothing less.

When that nation state violates the rule of international law, behaves in a way which the world finds abhorrent, and reacts to an insurgency which is as much their own creation as it is that of the insurgents they are attempting to defeat, with unreasonable state-sanctioned force, we have every right to demand they be held to account.... without the functionaries of a minority government slapping their lips together in the name of a theocracy.

If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?

Prime Minister of Israel
