Quotes about Arab Nations

Shimon Peres

Israel is a small piece of land. We are not even 1 percent of the Arab space, you know. We don't have water. We don't have oil. Our greatness, if one may say greatness, stems from the fact we had nothing to start with. So we turned to human talent because there weren't natural resources. The Arabs can do it too.

While Peres and many others think that the Arab nations can become developed countries, there are major barriers in the way. One is oil. No country that has had a great deal of oil has ever developed. Then there is education. Israel’s technological success requires a very high level of education in secular subjects which no Arab nation provides. The Western cultural values of inquiry, freedom of thought, individuality are were in large part developed from the traditional Jewish values. The Muslims had these at the early 2nd millineum. But political and religious forces since then, have created contemporary Arab cultures whose vaues are in many ways antithetical to modern technological development.

Israel has been deliberately disseminating AIDS in Arab nations.

Several European Nations ban the channel as it fosters terrorism and hate. France banned it after this absurd statement. The logic of many Muslims is that the Koran precludes sex outside of marriage. Therefore, sex could not be the transmitting agent in an Islamic country. So someone must be introducing the AIDS virus into the society. Israel is a highly advanced country at biological technology and is the enemy of all Islamic people. Therefore, the evil must be spread by Israel.

Jack Schwartz

The Arab representatives and their followers were not interested in the persecuted millions throughout the world; they were fixed on a political agenda that distracted the world from their own serious shortcomings in the human-rights department.

Ehud Barak

Saddam Hussein has set an example of defiance, especially against the first President Bush, that other Arab leaders cannot and should not emulate; the example leads only to empty gestures and developmental stagnation, both of which the Arab nations have had enough of already.

Amr Moussa

The Arab League is pinning its hopes on having a unified Arab position.

Paul Weyrich

Every Arab nation votes against us at least two thirds of the time.

Bernard Lewis

Israel and America are the only two grievances which may be freely expressed in Arab counties.

Michael T. Flynn

The Arab nations must be on our side. And if we catch them financing, if they funnel money to IS, that's when sanctions and other actions have to kick in.

Yasser Arafat

Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.

Jeb Bush

We need to embed our forces - our troops inside the Iraqi military. We need to arm directly the Kurds. And all of that has to be done in concert with the Arab nations.

Barack Obama

Faced with the potential of mass atrocities and a call for help from the Libyan people, the United States and our friends and allies stopped Gadhafi's forces in their tracks. A coalition that included the United States, NATO and Arab nations persevered to protect Libyan civilians. So this is a momentous day in the history of Libya. The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted, and with this enormous promise the Libyan people now have a great responsibility: to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Gadhafi's dictatorship.

George W. Bush

It's important to reach out to moderate Arab nations, like Jordan and Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Michael T. Flynn

I do believe - I very strongly believe that the Arab nations would be willing to put together an Arab NATO-like structure.
