Quote of the day:
"All of the politicians who come to the southern neighborhoods [in Tel Aviv] and promise the residents that all of them are just about to be expelled back to their countries or to third countries, or the moon, are pulling the wool over your eyes.

Quote of the day:
"I ask you: Who cares more about Palestinians? Israel, that facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, every single day? Or Hamas, which robs Palestinian children of that very same aid?... I'm going to say something now that some of you will not believe. But I'm going to say it anyway because it's true. I, the prime minister of Israel, care more about Palestinians than their own leaders do."
