When we fought for freedom, for the establishment of a Jewish state, we didn't send a questionnaire to the Jewish nation asking if it wanted a Jewish state.

The U.N. did not create Israel. The Jewish state came into being because the tiny Jewish community in what was mandatory Palestine rebelled against foreign imperialist rule. We did not conquer a foreign land.

The driving force for the Arabs is hatred of Israel. Hatred of the Jewish people.

The disappearance of the Jewish state will not mean the disappearance of anti-Semitism.

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 bi-national state.

The main aim of the Palestinians is to destroy the state of Israel.
