More From David Mamet

Which israel should we recognize? the israel of 1917; the israel of 1936; the israel of 1948; the israel of 1956; or the israel of 1967? which borders and which israel? israel has to recognize first the palestinian state and its borders and then we will know what we are talking about.
Israel Talking Borders
Let us consider the actual, worldly jew - not the sabbath jew, as bauer does, but the everyday jew. ... what is the worldly religion of the jew? huckstering. what is his worldly god? money. money is the jealous god of israel, in face of which no other god may exist. money degrades all the gods of man - and turns them into commodities. the bill of exchange is the real god of the jew. his god is only an illusory bill of exchange. the chimerical nationality of the jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.
Real Jealous Men
Anticipating attacks, i should like to emphasize that i do not subscribe to the myths propagated by enemies of israel and i am not blaming jews for anti-semitism. anti-semitism predates the birth of israel. neither israel's policies nor the critics of those policies should be held responsible for anti-semitism. at the same time, i do believe that attitudes toward israel are influenced by israel's policies, and attitudes toward the jewish community are influenced by the pro-israel lobby's success in suppressing divergent views.
Attitude Believe Israel
What i believe is that the united states is going to be playing on a level playing field in dealing with israel and the palestinian people. i am 100 percent pro israel in the sense of israel's right to exist, i lived in israel, i have family in israel, israel has the right to live not only in peace and security, but to know that their very existence will be protected by the united states government.
Believe Government Israel
Israel exists; it has a right to exist in peace behind secure and defensible borders; and it has a right to demand of its neighbors that they recognize those facts. i have personally followed and supported israel's heroic struggle for survival, ever since the founding of the state of israel 34 years ago. in the pre-1967 borders israel was barely 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. the bulk of israel's population lived within artillery range of hostile arab armies. i am not about to ask israel to live that way again.
Struggle Army Israel
This is why, as a prime minister of israel, i can promise you one more thing: even if israel has to stand alone, israel will stand. but i know that israel does not stand alone. i know that america stands with israel.

I think that anyone who moves to establish a palestinian state and evacuate territory gives territory away to radical islamist attacks against israel.
Moving Thinking Israel
Any one who speaks in favor of bringing the arab refugees back must also say how he expects to take the responsibility for it, if he is interested in the state of israel. it is better that things are stated clearly and plainly: we shall not let this happen.
Responsibility Israel Favors
Jerusalem will remain the capital of israel and it must remain undivided."truth: obama later said, "this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech and we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given. the point we were simply making was, is that we don't want barbed wire running through jerusalem.
Running Israel Wire
For many years the stakes were clear. there were the arabs attacking us and us defending ourselves, so basically there were no real problems [between the united states and israel]. now there are many small cells, and each of them can destroy on their own. some can arrive at new york and kill thousands of people.
