If the Palestinian Authority crashes, one of two things is most likely to happen: Hamas or even more extreme elements take control, or the Israelis have to step in even with greater strength.

If we wait forever for Abbas or his successors to do the right thing, in the meantime we are going to be compromised.

I am all for kicking out Hamas, but we need to understand the reality.

Time is arguably on the Palestinian side, not on the Israeli side.

They need internationally recognized borders that are, in fact, defensible.

If you want to prevent the people with the knives, I would respectfully suggest the Israeli Government should complete the security fence and create borders that----

And all I would suggest is, if you are going to do that--which, obviously, your bill stands for that--then at least have round two figured out on how you are going to achieve your purpose, which is minimize terrorism, not enhance it.

Neutrality by the United States with respect to Israel and its neighbors would be catastrophic.

My understanding is that, unfortunately, they have not achieved any dramatic reduction in the incitement contained in the textbooks.

The payments to the terrorists and their families are indefensible.

With the Arab Peace Initiative, we went from the reality of regional war against Israel to the prospect... of regional peace.
