A New State Of Israel With Broad

We Could Not Guard Every Water Pipeline From Being Blown Up And Every Tree From Being Uprooted. We Could Not Prevent Every Murder Of A Worker In An Orchard Or A Family In Their Beds. But It Was In Our Power To Set High Price For Our Blood, A Price Too High For The Arab Community, The Arab Army, Or The Arab Governments To Think It Worth Paying... It Was In Our Power To Cause The Arab Governments To Renounce 'the Policy Of Strength' Toward Israel By Turning It Into A Demonstration Of Weakness.

What Cause Have We To Complain About Their Fierce Hatred To Us? For Eight Years Now, They Sit In Their Refugee Camps In Gaza, And Before Their Eyes We Turn Into Our Homestead The Land And Villages In Which They And Their Forefathers Have Lived.

Soldiers Of Israel, We Have No Aims Of Conquest. Our Purpose Is To Bring To Naught The Attempts Of The Arab Armies To Conquer Our Land.

It Lies Upon The People's Shoulders To Prepare For The War, But It Lies Upon The Israeli Army To Carry Out The Fight With The Ultimate Object Of Erecting The Israeli Empire.

If I Had To Resign Every Time The Cabinet Disagrees With Me, I Could Not Last As A Defense Minister One Week.
