Quotes


Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. -- Golda Meir in a statement to the National Press Club in Washington, D. C. in 1957

“The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.” -- Benjamin Netanyahu, 2006


The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.  --  Abba Eban after the Geneva Peace Conference with Arab countries (21 December 1973).

"How is it that half a billion hostile Arabs have managed to successfully portray themselves as the victims of five million Israeli Jews?  . . . . .  How did more than a dozen Arab tyrannies successfully portray Israel, the region's lone democracy, as the bad guys in the Middle East?   . . . .   What Israel has failed at utterly is framing the conflict with the Palestinians in moral terms.  This is not a dispute over land.  Rather it is a conflict between good and evil . . . . . . . Whatever grievances the Palestinians claim to have against Israel, choosing to settle them by maiming and murdering innocent men, women and children is a crime against God and a sin against humanity.   The Jews were put into ghettos and turned into piles of ashes by the Nazis.  But they never retaliated by machine-gunning German schoolgirls. . . . . "   Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.   Jerusalem Post Jan 9th 2003


There were no such thing as Palestinians. When was there an independent Palestinian people with a Palestinian state? It was either southern Syria before the First World War, and then it was a Palestine including Jordan. It was not as though there was a Palestinian people in Palestine considering itself as a Palestinian people and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them. They did not exist. -- Golda Meir as quoted in The Washington Post (16 June 1969)
