Notable quotes

“It is the tragedy of our generation, that small nations have not yet gained the security of exercising their natural right—namely that of being masters of their own destiny.”
— On the Soviet invasion of Hungary to the UN General Assembly (21 November 1956), as cited in "Excerpts from the U.N. General Assembly Debate on Soviet Action in Hungary", The New York Times (21 November 1956), p. 10
“We have always said that in our war with the Arabs we had a secret weapon — no alternative. The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.”
— As quoted in LIFE magazine (3 October 1969), p. 32
“When peace comes, we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons.”
— Press conference in London (1969), as quoted in A Land of Our Own : An Oral Autobiography (1973) edited by Marie Syrkin, p. 242
“Arab sovereignty in Jerusalem just cannot be. This city will not be divided — not half and half, not 60-40, not 75-25, nothing.”
— Time (19 February 1973)
“It is not only a matter, I believe, of religious observance and practice. To me, being Jewish means and has always meant being proud to be part of a people that has maintained its distinct identity for more than 2,000 years, with all the pain and torment that has been inflicted upon it.”
— My Life (1975), p. 459
“Above all, this country is our own. Nobody has to get up in the morning and worry what his neighbors think of him. Being a Jew is no problem here.”
— On 30th anniversary of the founding of Israel, in International Herald Tribune (11 May 1978)
