Shelley Berkley: “And we could see the house. I mean, they didn't have to go it's over there behind the mountain, no, no, there it was.…”

On the recordSeptember 6, 2007
And we could see the house. I mean, they didn't have to go it's over there behind the mountain, no, no, there it was. And I have to tell you something else. One of the ministers that we met with said this about the conferences, and again, the Israelis are pushing any type of peace and support that they can get with the Palestinians. But they said, they want us to meet, so we'll meet, but if they refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist, what are we meeting about? Will they allow us to exist? What compromise do you make with people that don't recognize your right to exist? Do you compromise that you could exist for 20 more years, 30 more years, 50 more years? There's no compromise to be made with people that don't recognize that you are a person with a right to exist.
