Michael Oren Quote: “America is a unique place. The…”

America is a unique place. The value part of American foreign policy is something I think is very laudable, but it is uniquely American. And it is part of what makes America special.

September 27, 2021 1955, American, Michael Oren, Quotes by Historians

Michael Oren Quote: “Benjamin Netanyahu has made the official…”

Benjamin Netanyahu has made the official policy of the Israeli government the two-state solution, at a time when he had opposition from many quarters. That is his official position. He remains publicly committed to it, but not just publicly; also in diplomacy, totally committed to moving swiftly toward that solution.

Michael Oren Quote: “We in Israel certainly have a…”

We in Israel certainly have a great interest in seeing peace, stability, and security restored to Egypt. We want nothing more than peace for the Egyptian people. We’re not going to get involved in how Egypt, how the Egyptians should run themselves. That’s an internal Egyptian affair.

Michael Oren Quote: “Fantasy is the tendency of Americans…”

Fantasy is the tendency of Americans, going back to colonial times, to look at the Middle East as a type of fractured mirror of the United States – a type of mirror that could look a lot more like the United States, if, say, a Middle Eastern George Washington would emerge.

Michael Oren Quote: “I believe the Palestinians have never…”

Michael Oren Quote: “I think the Obama administration, whether…”

July 21, 2020 1955, American, Michael Oren, Quotes by Historians

Michael Oren Quote: “I think it is essential for…”

I think it is essential for Israel’s survival as a Jewish and democratic state that we end the status quo. The preferred way to end the status quo would be on the basis of a two-state solution. We don’t want the Palestinians to be citizens of Israel, nor do we want them to be subjects.

Michael Oren Quote: “The American Jewish left gets a…”

The American Jewish left gets a lot of press time. But the American Jewish right does not. And in many ways, the American Jewish right is every bit as well-organized and perhaps better funded than the American Jewish left. And they also come out with criticism.

Michael Oren Quote: “People often ask whether Obama passes…”

People often ask whether Obama passes the ‘kishka test:’ whether he likes Israel special, not in the same way he likes Taiwan or South Korea? Does he? I think the kishka test was decided when he visited Israel. I think the reaction there was emotional and genuine.

April 10, 2019 1955, American, Michael Oren, Quotes by Historians

I believe that the only alternative Israel has to save itself as a Jewish state – and let’s be frank about that: the Jewish state is predicated on having a Jewish majority – the only way we can do that is by unilaterally withdrawing our border and withdrawing our settlements in the West Bank.
