Peace Is Important For Israel.

I Am Focused On What Needs To Be Done For The People Of Israel. Period. I Do Not Pity Myself And I Do Not Pat Myself On The Shoulder. I Get Up In The Morning Full Of Energy To Fulfill My Mission.

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.

In Israel We Tend To Be Carried Away By Our Emotions.
