You don't have to be desperate. Never be desperate. That is my slogan.

We must never bend too much.

Israel's capital will never again be a divided city, a city with a wall at its center, a city in which two flags fly. This city, will, in its entirety, absorb immigrants, welcome pilgrims and be the eternal capital of Israel forever.

I said it several times: a blow you are getting from a friend is still a blow, but more painful.

Zionism is a revolutionary process. And in a revolution, you must be ready not to think too much about sentiments or human weaknesses.

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.
