"There is no way Israel will deal with the Palestinians if the Palestinians do not understand the suffering of the Jewish people ... now fifty years after that we have to accept co-responsibility for Palestinian suffering. Until an Israeli leader is able to utter those words there will be no peace."

I hope that my new status will be an example of Israeli-Palestinian co-existence, I believe that the destinies of the Israeli people and the Palestinian people are inextricably linked.

Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still, we will have no chance of escaping the violence.

Anti-Semitism has no historical, political and certainly no philosophical origins. Anti-Semitism is a disease.
