Menachem Begin Quotes
"Israel is still the only country in the world against which there is a written document to the effect that it must disappear."
"There will be no fraternal strife while the foe is at the gate."
"The partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized .... Jerusalem was and will for ever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for Ever."
"I wish to declare that the Government of Israel will not ask any nation, be it near or far, mighty or small, to recognize our right to exist. The right to exist? it would not enter the mind of any Briton or Frenchman, Belgian or Dutchman, Hungarian or Bulgarian, Russian or American, to request for his people recognition of its right to exist. Their existence per se is their right to exist. The same holds true for Israel. We were granted our right to exist by the God of our fathers, at the glimmer of the dawn of human civilization, nearly four thousand years ago. For that right, which has been sanctified in Jewish blood from generation to generation, we have paid a price unexampled in the annals of the nations."
"The Jew bows before no man only God"
"Another Holocaust would have happened in the history of the Jewish people. Never again, never again. Tell so your friends, tell anybody you will meet, we shall defend our people with all the means at our disposal. We shall not allow any enemy to develop weapons of mass destruction turned against us."
"The State of Israel has been established, but we must not forget that our homeland has not yet been liberated... Those who do not recognize our right to our entire homeland do not recognize our right to any part of it, and we will not relinquish our natural and eternal right."
"The British promised to create a Jewish state. Instead they served their own Arab-linked interests as millions died in the Holocaust."
