A multicultural society does not reject the culture of the other but is prepared to listen, to see, to dialogue and, in the final analysis, to possibly accept the other's culture without compromising its own.
It's not for the president to determine the arrangements between Israel and the Palestinians, and the Arab world, but to be the bridge between opinions and to facilitate dialogue and understanding.
Multiculturalism is a bed of beautiful roses that has some thorns, so we just have to be careful not to get pricked or to prick one another.
It can't be 'occupied territory' if the land is your own.
I don't see any possibility of peace if there won't be open borders between us and our neighbors.
There are many Palestinians who believe there is no way to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. They call for the right of the return of refugees to Israel - something which is unacceptable for the consensus in Israel and which strikes at the very heart of this issue.
It's preferable for the Palestinians to become citizens of the state than for us to divide the country.
Our enemy is hatred - the hatred inherent in fundamentalism.
We cannot keep the Jewish state without being a democratic state.
We need a broad government which will make decisions, but not a national unity government, because we are divided from within.
The burden is on the Jewish majority in Israel to prove that the definition of their country as Jewish and democratic is not a contradiction.
I wish to strengthen the hand of the Prime Minister and the heads of the security agencies in the unrelenting battle for our right to maintain normal daily life in every place in Israel.
We must stay focused on the bilateral negotiations between the Palestinians and us.
