A new State of Israel with broad frontiers, strong and solid, with the authority of the Israel Government extending from the Jordan to the Suez Canal.
After all, we are not children. It's time we planned our life.
Anyone who has practical ideas or proposal to encourage emigration, let him speak up. No idea or proposal is to be dismissed out of hand.
Arabs cross to collect the grain that they left in the abandoned villages and we set mines for them and they go back without an arm or a leg.
Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.
I could be the village driver, or a watchman, a builder or a farmer, in a kibbutz or a moshav, as long as I have the peace of family life.
I don't think we should be a model family living in a model home.
I feel I've lived so long, and went through so much, that all I want is calm and rest.
I have only one eye. Do you want me to look at the road or the at the speedometer.
I have the strength to endure it all.
I have traveled a long road from the battlefield to the peace table.
I know that plans and reality may be two different things, but I think my demands on life are minimal.
I make no pretenses. I'm studying day and night in order to complete my B.A. in less than two years, but I manage to be in Tel Aviv on the weekend.
If I had to resign every time the Cabinet disagrees with me, I could not last as a Defense Minister one week.
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
Israel cannot afford to stand against the entire world and be denounced as the aggressor.
It isn't a secret that my heart is damaged. All the treatments and medications haven't been effective.
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.
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's a democracy and if I am outvoted, I have to accept the majority decisions.
Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist.
Let us not be afraid to see the hatred that consumes the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs who sit around us and wait for the moment when their hands will be able to reach our blood.
Let us not today fling accusation at the murderers. What cause have we to complain about their fierce hatred to us?
Most important, don't do anything you don't want.
Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.
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.
Supreme efforts must be made to acquire more arms and ammunitions until the date of the clash, but one thing must not be made dependent on the other.
The day will come, and very soon, you'll be knitting, and I'll be reading and the darling will be crawling on the rug.
The Jews have opened fire, and they are unready to begin a war.
The method of collective punishment so far has proved effective.
The Old City of Jerusalem is in our hands.
The only method that proved effective, not justified or moral but effective, when Arabs plant mines on our side.
The supreme efforts will be demanded of you, the troops, fighting in the air, on the land, and on the sea. Our security rests with you.
There is no more Palestine. Finished.
There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.
To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger.
We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and gun barrel, we shall not be able to plant a tree or build a house.
We are a small nation, but strong.
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.
We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves. Let us make our reckoning today.
We want emigration, we want a normal standard of living, we want to encourage emigration according to a selective program.
Who needs such a long intestine, anyway?
