“Israel is at war, not going through a wave of terrorism; this is the Third Intifada. Every day another Israeli is killed, and unfortunately, the security situation appears to be deteriorating. I’m not willing to accept — or get used to — this reality.”

“If the idea of disengagement dies, then so will the State of Israel — it will stop being a Jewish state.

This is in our best interests.” (Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog speaking at a conference, 07/02/2016)
