The Six-day War Laid A Foundation Of Deep Hatred Toward Israel 50 Years Ago. I Said This At A Very Early Moment Back Then, When People Were Chanting About Liberating Ancestral Land.

Not Now, For The Last Three Thousand Years, Hebrew Has Been Penetrated And Fertilized By Ancient Semitic Languages - By Aramaic, By Greek, By Latin, By Arabic, By Yiddish, By Latino, By German, By Russian, By English, I Could Go On And On. It's Very Much Like English.

Let Me Make It Very Clear: When I Say Compromise I Do Not Mean Capitulation. When I Say Compromise I Definitely Do Not Mean What Jesus Christ Meant When He Offered Us To Turn Our Other Cheek To Our Enemies. Compromise Means, Try To Meet The Other Somewhere Half-way. And, This Can Only Happen If The Other Is Willing To Go Half-way In Order To Meet You. That Is The Very Strict Line Between Compromise And Capitulation. I'm A Great Believer In Compromises. I Do Not Believe In Capitulation.
