A new State of Israel with broad frontiers, strong and solid, with the authority of the Israel Government extending from the Jordan to the Suez Canal.
Moshe Dayan After all, we are not children. It's time we planned our life. Moshe Dayan Anyone who has practical ideas or proposal to encourage emigration, let him speak up. No idea or proposal is to be dismissed out of hand. Moshe Dayan Arabs cross to collect the grain that they left in the abandoned villages and we set mines for them and they go back without an arm or a leg. Moshe Dayan Freedom is the oxygen of the soul. Moshe Dayan I don't think we should be a model family living in a model home. Moshe Dayan I feel I've lived so long, and went through so much, that all I want is calm and rest. Moshe Dayan I have only one eye. Do you want me to look at the road or the at the speedometer. Moshe Dayan I have the strength to endure it all. Moshe Dayan I have traveled a long road from the battlefield to the peace table. Moshe Dayan I know that plans and reality may be two different things, but I think my demands on life are minimal. Moshe Dayan I make no pretenses. I'm studying day and night in order to complete my B.A. in less than two years, but I manage to be in Tel Aviv on the weekend. Moshe Dayan If I had to resign every time the Cabinet disagrees with me, I could not last as a Defense Minister one week. Moshe Dayan If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. Moshe Dayan Israel cannot afford to stand against the entire world and be denounced as the aggressor. Moshe Dayan It isn't a secret that my heart is damaged. All the treatments and medications haven't been effective. Moshe Dayan It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce the policy of strength toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness. Moshe Dayan It was in our power to set high price for our blood, a price too high for the Arab community, the Arab army, or the Arab governments to think it worth paying. Moshe Dayan It's a democracy and if I am outvoted, I have to accept the majority decisions. Moshe Dayan Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Moshe Dayan Let us not be afraid to see the hatred that consumes the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs who sit around us and wait for the moment when their hands will be able to reach our blood. Moshe Dayan Most important, don't do anything you don't want. Moshe Dayan Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice. Moshe Dayan Soldiers of Israel, we have no aims of conquest. Our purpose is to bring to naught the attempts of the Arab armies to conquer our land. Moshe Dayan Supreme efforts must be made to acquire more arms and ammunitions until the date of the clash, but one thing must not be made dependent on the other. Moshe Dayan The Jews have opened fire, and they are unready to begin a war. Moshe Dayan The method of collective punishment so far has proved effective. Moshe Dayan The Old City of Jerusalem is in our hands. Moshe Dayan The supreme efforts will be demanded of you, the troops, fighting in the air, on the land, and on the sea. Our security rests with you. Moshe Dayan There is no more Palestine. Finished. Moshe Dayan There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population. Moshe Dayan To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger. Moshe Dayan We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and gun barrel, we shall not be able to plant a tree or build a house. Moshe Dayan We are a small nation, but strong. Moshe Dayan We could not guard every water pipeline from being blown up and every tree from being uprooted. We could not prevent every murder of a worker in an orchard or a family in their beds. Moshe Dayan We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves. Let us make our reckoning today. Moshe Dayan Who needs such a long intestine, anyway? Moshe Dayan |
