Dore Gold Israelis Quotations

Right now, Israelis want a security process rather than a peace process.

I think Israelis felt that by completing the withdrawal from Gaza, they had created an opportunity for peace for the Palestinians to seize upon. And what they saw was synagogues in flames, and that's something with a very ominous tone for the success of any future negotiations.

What is perhaps most disturbing about this announcement is that it says that terrorism is legitimate in certain areas and terrorism will be stopped in other areas. We will not accept, we will not greet any kind of announcement which says killing Israelis here is OK but killing them there is not OK.

The forces that are shooting at Israelis day in and day out are not renegade units, ... These are mainstream Palestinian organizations belonging to Yasser Arafat. ... They are involved in mortar attacks against Israel and Israeli settlements.
