Dan Gillerman Quotations

We are all keeping our fingers crossed and praying and are very elated by every small, however minute, sign of progress. But I think there is still a very long way to go... And hopefully Sharon will survive and come back.

He represents the Palestinians' dark past rather than the bright future. He is the region's and his own people's greatest tragedy.

Resolutions come and go, but this one you could call eternal because it means that every year from now on there will be a commemoration.

I think Sharon comes to New York proud of his country.

While it may be true – and probably is – that not all Muslims are terrorists, it also happens to be true that nearly all terrorists are Muslim.

From now on, nothing is impossible for Israel, which is a normal country like any other. We won't wait another half a century to sit on the Security Council.

As the generation of Holocaust survivors and liberators dwindles, the torch of remembrance, of bearing witness, and of education must continue forward.

It isn't poverty that breeds terrorism, but terrorism that breeds poverty.

We should not be so detached from reality as to treat an advisory opinion as though it were binding, and binding Palestinian obligations as though they were nonexistent. This is not a recipe for progress, it is a sure recipe for failure.

We sound an alarm, a call to arms and a wake-up call to the world. A world in which an extreme and evil regime denies the Holocaust, while preparing the next one.

These are steps that could not have happened even two years ago. It would have been unthinkable, suicidal for us even to try them.

Thank God that the fate of Israel and of the Jewish people is not decided in this hall.

An informal discussion that was merely a waste of time took place. The Security Council has more important issues to deal with.

This is not a dramatic development, as Israel also favors a Middle East clean of nuclear weapons, when no threat will exist. The Iranian issue is what the UN is dealing with. The message is clear: Iran poses an immediate and terrifying global threat and it is good that the world has come to its senses.

This illustrates once again the kind of horrible world we live in -- a world in which people go to a hotel in order to spend a holiday with their children, with their families, and get blown up.

They've actually talked the talk. It is now time for them to walk the walk. They have to arrest the terrorists, confiscate the weapons, dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism and seriously embark on a process series of negotiations.

It's a Palestinian invention which unfortunately they've exported with great skill all over the world.

This has been probably one of the most tragic events to hit Israel certainly since the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin. Sharon is not just a leader who is very respected, he's also a leader who is very much loved by the people.
