Peace Is Important For Israel.

There Is A Western World. There Is America. There Is Great Britain And Germany And France And Russia And China And Other Nations. I Doubt That There Is One Country Amongst Those I Mentioned Which Has A Desire To See Iran, With Its Fundamentalist, Islamic, Extremist Government, Possessing Nuclear Weapons.

I Never Thought That Syria And Israel Should Engage In A Violent Confrontation Because I Don't Think That There Is Any Particular Interest For Any Of Us To Do It.

If The Day Comes When The Two-state Solution Collapses, And We Face A South African-style Struggle For Equal Voting Rights (also For The Palestinians In The Territories), Then, As Soon As That Happens, The State Of Israel Is Finished.

We Can Never Totally Return To The Indefensible Pre-1967 Borders, ... We Simply Cannot Afford To Make Israel 14.48 Km (9 Miles) Wide Again At Its Center. We Can't Allow The Palestinians To Be A Couple Of [miles] From [tel Aviv's] Ben-gurion Airport In The Age Of Shoulder-fire Missiles With The Capacity To Shoot Down Jumbo Jets. But That Doesn't Mean We Must Remain In Every Corner Of The West Bank Or In Gaza, Where Fewer Than 10,000 Jews, Living Next To 1.3 Million Palestinians, Have Been Protected By Twice As Many Soldiers.

There Is Nothing That I'd Love To Do More Than Negotiate With Palestinians. This Is My Desire. This Is My Dream. This Is My Mission.
