Ariel Sharon Cannot Quotations

There is no good terror and bad terror. Terror is terror. There's not terror that you can accept and terror that you cannot accept. Terror is terror. Murder is murder.

So long as there is terror, there will be no political process, ... Political process cannot coincide with terror. That's why we expect the Palestinian Authority to wage true, genuine struggle against terrorism.

If, in November, Sharon will see that he can't pass anything, that he is losing every no-confidence vote, that the Knesset is paralyzed and he cannot continue, he could decide to disperse the Knesset,

It is important to hold talks, but we cannot attend the meeting without adequate preparation,

Believe me, the pain I feel with this act is the full realization that we must do it, ... We cannot hold onto Gaza forever, more than a million Palestinians live there... crowded in refugee camps, poverty and hotbeds of hatred with no hope on the horizon.

Israel cannot afford that an Israeli citizen will not be able to visit part of his country, not to speak about the holiest place for the Jewish people.

We will conduct negotiations with the Palestinians in order to achieve political settlements, but not under the pressure of terrorism and violence, ... We're prepared to ease the suffering of the Palestinians, but we cannot do this under the pressure of terrorism and violence.

There cannot be any peace with a dictatorial, corrupt and tyrannical regime. This has to be a different authority,

In my talks with the prime minister I discovered that he's not prepared to abandon the Camp David ideas, and I cannot be a partner to such a policy, ... Just imagine and think how much graver our situation would be if the old city of Jerusalem were for the most part handed over to the Palestinians according to the Camp David ideas.

Gaza cannot be held on to forever... It is out of strength and not weakness that we are taking this step.

A country that calls for the destruction of another people cannot be a member of the United Nations.

We cannot give in on the demand to collect weapons and dismantle the terrorist organizations, but it is clear that this is a more complex process.

We cannot hold onto Gaza forever, more than a million Palestinians live there...crowded in refugee camps, poverty and hotbeds of hatred with no hope on the horizon,
