There is a profound problem in Palestinian society if they elected an organization [that wants the destruction of the State of Israel].

Apparently this is the answer of the Palestinian Authority to our gesture of peace, ... and I must tell you that our patience has limits as we are witnessing an escalation of a war of terror against us.

another example of terrorism directed against innocent civilians.

This is the worst attack on Jerusalem that has ever happened.

In the last 24 hours we have seen a wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks. The attack of this morning is particularly shocking, because, as a gesture of good will, Israel allows Palestinian workers to come into Israel.

This is not the answer we were expecting from our declaration of a cease-fire. We stretched our hands in peace, and the response was horrifying.
