Menachem Begin

We don't need legitimacy. We exist. Therefore we are legitimate.

No more wars, no more bloodshed. Peace unto you. Shalom, salaam, forever.

I come to Jerusalem. There, the sky is blue and memory becomes clear.

My colleagues and I have gone in the footsteps of our predecessors since the very first day we were called by our people to care for their future. We went any place, we looked for any avenue, we made any effort to bring about negotiations between Israel and its neighbors, negotiations without which peace remains an abstract desire.

Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And forever.

In peace, the Middle East, the ancient cradle of civilization, will become invigorated and transformed. Throughout its lands there will be freedom of movement of people, of ideas, of goods.
