After Eighty, There Are No Enemies, Only

Israel's Economic And Cultural Progress Is Due To Three Things: The Pioneering Spirit That Inspires The Best Of Our Immigrant And Israeli Youth, Who Respond To The Challenge Of Our Desolute Areas And The Ingathering Of The Exiles; The Feeling Of Diaspora Jewry That They Are Partners In The Enterprise Of Israel's Resurgence In The Ancient Homeland Of The Jewish People; And The Power Of Science, And Technology Which Israel Unceasingly, And Not Without Success, Tries To Enhance.

When We Say That The Arabs Are The Aggressors And We Defend Ourselves — This Is Only Half The Truth. As Regards Our Security And Life We Defend Ourselves And Our Moral And Physical Position Is Not Bad. We Can Face The Gangs... And Were We Allowed To Mobilize All Our Forces We Would Have No Doubts About The Outcome... But The Fighting Is Only One Aspect Of The Conflict Which Is In Its Essence A Political One. And Politically We Are The Aggressors And They Defend Themselves. Militarily, It Is We Who Are On The Defensive Who Have The Upper Hand But In The Political Sphere They Are Superior.

It's Not A Matter Of Maintaining The Status Quo. We Have To Create A Dynamic State, Oriented Towards Expansion.

A Partial Jewish State Is Not The End, But Only The Beginning. ... I Am Certain That We Will Not Be Prevented From Settling In The Other Parts Of The Country, Either By Mutual Agreements With Our Arab Neighbors Or By Some Other Means. . . [if The Arabs Refuse] We Shall Have To Speak To Them In A Different Language. But We Shall Only Have Another Language If We Have A State.

We Will Make A Great And Awful Mistake If We Fail To Settle Hebron, Neighbor And Predecessor Of Jerusalem, With A Large Jewish Settlement, Constantly Growing And Expanding, Very Soon. This Will Also Be A Blessing To The Arab Neighbors. Hebron Is Worthy To Be Jerusalem's Sister.
