My Mood Altered And The Pain Turned

All Together, We Know For Many Years That Terror Is The Most Dangerous Thing For Local, Regional And International Stability.

To The Citizens Of Israel, I Say: We Have Passed Difficult Years, Faced The Most Painful Experiences And Overcome Them. The Future Lies Before Us. We Are Required To Take Difficult And Controversial Steps, But We Must Not Miss The Opportunity To Try To Achieve What We Have Wished For, For So Many Years: Security, Tranquillity And Peace.

It Is The Duty Of Israeli Leaders To Explain To Public Opinion, Clearly And Courageously, A Certain Number Of Facts That Are Forgotten With Time. The First Of These Is That There Is No Zionism, Colonialization, Or Jewish State Without The Eviction Of The Arabs And The Expropriation Of Their Lands.

We Do Not Build New Jewish Communities In Samaria, Judea And Gaza. The United States Has Never Accepted Our Building Of Communities Or Of The Fence. Yet, I've Managed To Develop Relations Between Israel And The United States Even Though President Bush Never Supported Settlements.

Close To 80 Percent Of All Terrorist Activity In Samaria Was Directed And Financed Either By Hizbullah Or The Iranians. Iran Continues To Increase Its Involvement In Terror Attacks Inside Israel, Particularly Through A Small But Radical Minority Of Israeli Arabs Which Iran Supports And Directs.
