As leaders, we in Israel must take into account the concerns of diaspora Jewry. Israel is strong enough to take criticism from within the family of Jews who say, 'OK, we disapprove of Israeli policy, but we stand firm for Israel.'

I believe Israel needs branding. I want that the word 'Israel' will relate not just to an Israeli soldier or a camel, but Israel as an advanced liberal society with a strong economy and great people.

Netanyahu's government and its faulty and politicized priorities are leading Israel into bankruptcy.

The Israeli public has been brainwashed into believing that its global isolation stems from delegitimization and anti-Semitism.

Something happened to the State of Israel. What was morally obvious in 1948 is not so obvious anymore. When the State of Israel was established, it was, for the parents and grandparents of these young Jews, a miracle. It was David and Goliath. We were the just cause. It was about values. We were small, but we were the good guys in the world!

The Iranians are abusing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to gain more support from radical elements in the region.
