Watu huona nguvu ya taifa katika utajiri wake, idadi yake ya watu, silaha za kijeshi, teknolojia, na maarifa. Lakini Mungu huangalia haki.”
“Israeli interests are not necessarily in harmony with the American interests.”
“Israeli Jewish society is incapable, for moral and political reasons, of murdering millions or hundreds of thousands of Arabs. It is also inconceivable that Palestine’s Arab inhabitants would abandon the country of their own free will. But a campaign of expulsion, as required to rid the country of all or most of its Arab population, would doubtless take weeks if not months to implement and would be halted in its tracks by the international community and by much of Israel’s Jewish public.
Similarly, the achievement of a Jew-less Land of Israel through murder or expulsion or a combination of the two by the Arabs would in all likelihood be stymied by the international community, or at least the United States, which might well intervene militarily.”

When that becomes clear, I think Israel's days are numbered as an ally that is never questioned or criticized.”

A day after it was signed in May 1949, Israel was admitted to the UN and immediately retracted its commitment to the protocol.”

“Isso é mais uma coisa que aprendi com o tempo, sabe? O bem e o mal não existem! Quer dizer, existir até que existem, mas apenas no contexto de uma pergunta importante: bem ou mal para quem? A questão é que tudo depende do ponto de vista, entende, filho? Pense numa partida de futebol, por exemplo. A vitória é ótima para o time que vence, mas a mesma vitória é amarga para quem perde. Não é?
Agora, imagine que jogadores dos dois times sejam entrevistados para falar da partida. Os que ganharam com certeza elogiarão a atuação do seu time, enfatizarão a importância dos pontos obtidos com a vitória. No entanto, o jogador do time que perdeu reclamará dos erros da equipe, das condições desfavoráveis do gramado, descerá o pau na arbitragem e coisa e tal. No fim, para uns o resultado terá sido justo, enquanto outros tenderão a se sentir injustiçados. As coisas são sempre assim. Nossa visão depende sempre do lado em que estamos.”

“Isso é uma questão muito importante sobre o papel da educação na formação crítica das futuras gerações, especialmente em relação a temas científicos como a teoria da evolução. Talvez a pergunta seria: hoje a teoria da evolução, amanhã qual vai ser a próxima teoria? A religião cristã se opôs a basicamente todo avanço científico que ocorreu no passado. Se formos realmente aceitar esse jogo, a escola será transformada em um templo. Não seria o papel da escola exatamente nos elevar intelectualmente e socialmente? Para que serve a sala de aula se no final ela vai se curvar diante de crenças e superstições da idade do bronze?”
