We'll Attack Anyone Who Tries To Harm

There Is A Great Danger To The World, Not Only To My Country [israel] But To The United States, To The Middle East, To Peace, To All Of Humanity, From The Prospect That Such Regimes That Brutalize Its Own People, That Sponsors Terrorism More Than Any Other Regime In The World - That This Regime Acquires Atomic Bombs Is Very, Very Dangerous.

If I Have To Reduce All Of The Laws Of War Into A Single Sentence, It Is This. You Divide The World Into Two, Combatants And Noncombatants. You Can Attack Deliberately Combatants, But Not Deliberately Noncombatants. Israel Acts That Way. It Attacks Combatants And Accidentally Kills Noncombatants. But In The Case Of The Terrorists, It's The Exact Opposite. They Deliberately Attack Combatants - Noncombatants, Civilians, Deliberately.

When I Say That Terrorism Is War Against Civilization, I May Be Met By The Objection That Terrorists Are Often Idealists Pursuing Worthy Ultimate Aims -- National Or Regional Independence, And So Forth. I Do Not Accept This Argument. I Cannot Agree That A Terrorist Can Ever Be An Idealist, Or That The Objects Sought Can Ever Justify Terrorism. The Impact Of Terrorism, Not Merely On Individual Nations, But On Humanity As A Whole, Is Intrinsically Evil, Necessarily Evil And Wholly Evil.

The Real Reason We Haven't Had Peace Is Because Of A Persistent Refusal Of The Palestinians To Recognize A Jewish State In Any Border.

The People Of Israel Will Have To Be Convinced That The Palestinians Are Ready For Peace.
