I cannot say that the attitude of the United Nations always is for the Israeli attitude. Israel, I think, has been under severe attacks by members of the United Nations many times. – Ariel Sharon
The ongoing conflict between us has caused heavy suffering to both peoples. The future can and must be different. Both our peoples are destined to live together side by side, on this small piece of land. This reality we cannot change. – Ariel Sharon
Peace should provide security. It should be durable. Im ready to go far in making painful concessions. But there is one thing I will never make any concessions on and thats the security of the Israeli citizens and the very existence of the state of Israel. The Palestinians are losing time. – Ariel Sharon
To our Palestinian neighbours, I assure you that we have a genuine intention to respect your right to live independently and in dignity. I have already said that Israel has no desire to continue to govern over you and control your fate. – Ariel Sharon
