ABOUT ISRAEL
 A few years ago in New York, the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty was discouraged from even applying for federal funds because it had the word "Jewish" in its name. :: 021212
A stable, peaceful Palestinian state is necessary to achieve the security that Israel longs for. :: 020624
Across the world, people are grieving for Israelis and Palestinians who have lost their lives. :: 020404
All who care about the Palestinian people should join in condemning and acting against groups like Al-Aqsa, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all groups which oppose the peace process and seek the destruction of Israel. :: 020404
America recognizes Israel's right to defend itself from terror. :: 020404
America stands committed to an independent and democratic Palestine, living side by side with Israel in peace and security. :: 020912
America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others. :: 020430
As a step in this process, he will work to implement United Nations Resolution 1402 -- an immediate and meaningful cease-fire, an end to terror and violence and incitement; withdrawal of Israel troops from Palestinian cities, including Ramallah; implementation of the already-agreed-upon Tenet and Mitchell plans, which will lead to a political settlement. :: 020404
As Israel steps back, responsible Palestinian leaders and Israel's Arab neighbors must step forward and show the world that they are truly on the side of peace. :: 020404
As new Palestinian institutions and new leaders emerge, demonstrating real performance on security and reform, I expect Israel to respond and work toward a final status agreement. :: 020624
As we make progress towards security, Israel forces need to withdraw fully to positions they held prior to September 28, 2000. :: 020624
as we move toward a peaceful solution, Arab states will be expected to build closer ties of diplomacy and commerce with Israel, leading to full normalization of relations between Israel and the entire Arab world. :: 020624
Consistent with the Mitchell plan, Israeli settlement activity in occupied territories must stop, and the occupation must end through withdrawal to secure and recognize boundaries consistent with United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338. :: 020404
consistent with the recommendations of the Mitchell Committee, Israeli settlement activity in the occupied territories must stop. :: 020624
Dozens of Pakistanis, more than 130 Israelis, more than 250 citizens of India, men and women from El Salvador, Iran, Mexico and Japan, and hundreds of British citizens. :: 010920
Every nation actually committed to peace will stop the flow of money, equipment and recruits to terrorist groups seeking the destruction of Israel -- including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. :: 020624
Given his failure, the Israel government feels it must strike at terrorist networks that are killing its citizens. :: 020404
He's fired ballistic missiles at Iran and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Israel. :: 020912
I also stated the other day that if we ever get into the Mitchell process where we can start discussing a political solution in the Middle East, that I believe there ought to be a Palestinian state, the boundaries of which will be negotiated by the parties, so long as the Palestinian state recognizes the right of Israel to exist and will treat Israel with respect, and will be peaceful on her borders. :: 011000
I can understand the deep anger and anguish of the Israeli people. :: 020624
I speak as a committed friend of Israel. :: 020404
I was struck by this: that in many cities, when Christian and Jewish women learn that Muslim women --women of cover -- were afraid of going out of their homes alone, that they went shopping with them, that they showed true friendship and support -- an act that shows the world the true nature of America. :: 011000
If the Palestinian people meet these goals, they will be able to reach agreement with Israel and Egypt and Jordan on security and other arrangements for independence. :: 020624
Ilan Ramon also flew above his home, the land of Israel. :: 030204
In the Middle East, we will continue to seek peace between a secure Israel and a democratic Palestine. :: 030128
In violation of Security Council Resolution 1373, Iraq continues to shelter and support terrorist organizations that direct violence against Iran, Israel, and Western governments. :: 020912
Iraq possesses ballistic missiles with a likely range of hundreds of miles -- far enough to strike Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, and other nations -- in a region where more than 135,000 American civilians and service members live and work. :: 021007
Israel also has a large stake in the success of a democratic Palestine. :: 020624
Israel faces hard choices of its own. :: 020404
Israel has recognized the goal of a Palestinian state. :: 020404
Israel is facing a terrible and serious challenge. :: 020404
Israel should also show a respect -- a respect for and concern about the dignity of the Palestinian people who are and will be their neighbors. :: 020404
Israel should release frozen Palestinian revenues into honest, accountable hands. :: 020624
Israel should take immediate action to ease closures and allow peaceful people to go back to work. :: 020404
Israeli citizens will continue to be victimized by terrorists, and so Israel will continue to defend herself. :: 020624
It is untenable for Israeli citizens to live in terror. :: 020624
Last Wednesday, my special envoy, Anthony Zinni, reported to me that we were on the verge of a cease-fire agreement that would have spared Palestinian and Israeli lives. :: 020404
Now other Arab states must rise to this occasion and accept Israel as a nation and as a neighbor. :: 020404
On board was a crew of seven: Colonel Rick Husband; Lt. Colonel Michael Anderson; Commander Laurel Clark; Captain David Brown; Commander William McCool; Dr. Kalpana Chawla; and Ilan Ramon, a Colonel in the Israeli Air Force. :: 030201
Peace with Israel is the only avenue to prosperity and success for a new Palestinian state. :: 020404
Permanent occupation threatens Israel's identity and democracy. :: 020624
So I challenge Israel to take concrete steps to support the emergence of a viable, credible Palestinian state. :: 020624
The Israeli government should be compassionate at checkpoints and border crossings, sparing innocent Palestinians daily humiliation. :: 020404
The outlines of a just settlement are clear: two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. :: 020404
The proposal of Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, supported by the Arab League, has put a number of countries in the Arab world closer than ever to recognizing Israel's right to exist. :: 020404
The recent Arab League support of Crown Prince Abdullah's initiative for peace is promising, is hopeful because it acknowledges Israel's right to exist. :: 020404
The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children. :: 010920
The world expects an immediate cease-fire, immediate resumption of security cooperation with Israel against terrorism, and an immediate order to crack down on terrorist networks. :: 020404
there was such an outpouring of compassion for people within our own country, a recognition that the Islamic faith should stand side by side, hand to hand with the Jewish faith and the Christian faith in our great land. :: 011000
They need their closest neighbor, Israel, to be an economic partner, not a mortal enemy. :: 020404
They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa. :: 010920
They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East. :: 010920
This means that the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 will be ended through a settlement negotiated between the parties, based on U.N. Resolutions 242 and 338, with Israeli withdrawal to secure and recognize borders. :: 020624
Ultimately, Israelis and Palestinians must address the core issues that divide them if there is to be a real peace, resolving all claims and ending the conflict between them. :: 020624
Ultimately, this approach should be the basis of agreements between Israel and Syria and Israel and Lebanon. :: 020404
We are the target of enemies who boast they want to kill: kill all Americans, kill all Jews and kill all Christians. :: 011108
We have seen it in the compassion of Jewish and Christian Americans who have reached out to their Muslim neighbors. :: 011108
We mourn the dead, and we mourn the damage done to the hope of peace, the hope of Israelis and the Israelis' desire for a Jewish state at peace with its neighbors. :: 020404
We must also resolve questions concerning Jerusalem, the plight and future of Palestinian refugees, and a final peace between Israel and Lebanon, and Israel and a Syria that supports peace and fights terror. :: 020624
When an 18-year-old Palestinian girl is induced to blow herself up, and in the process kills a 17-year-old Israeli girl, the future itself is dying, the future of the Palestinian people and the future of the Israeli people. :: 020404
With a dedicated effort, this state could rise rapidly, as it comes to terms with Israel, Egypt and Jordan on practical issues, such as security. :: 020624
Yet the Egyptian and Jordanian peace treaties with Israel remind us that with determined and responsible leadership progress can come quickly. :: 020624
Yet, Israel also must recognize that such a state needs to be politically and economically viable. :: 020404
Yet, Israel must understand that its response to these recent attacks is only a temporary measure. :: 020404
Yet, to lay the foundations of future peace, I ask Israel to halt incursions into Palestinian-controlled areas and begin the withdrawal from those cities it has recently occupied. :: 020404
