Christianity—and that is its greatest merit—has somewhat mitigated that brutal German love of war, but it could not destroy it. Should that subduing talisman, the cross, be shattered, the frenzied madness of the ancient warriors, that insane Berserk rage of which Nordic bards have spoken and sung so often, will once more burst into flame.

We Americans have no commission from God to police the world.

I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.

You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ?violence. If the Jews put ?down their weapons ?today, there would be no ?more Israel'?

As I reflect on the legacy of my father, the greatest aspect is his legacy of peace.

The struggle between Israelis and Palestinians is a perfect reflection of the struggle between fear and forgiveness that rages within us all.

One cannot reject an entire nation because of the politics of its leader.

What you can do with relations is greater than what you can do with guns.
