The extremists are talking too loudly, and everyone is convinced that only he is on the right side.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
To come and say about me that I'm destroying Israel, that I hate Israel, that's a bit insulting.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We have always realized, as Israelis and as Jews, that we are not fighting Islam and thus avoided turning the Temple Mount issue into a war of Jews against Muslims.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The reality is that we only have one person whom the public sees as appropriate to be prime minister, and that's a shame. I think that if there were more, it would be better for everyone, including Netanyahu.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Israeli society is comprised of four principal tribes growing closer in size.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There is no, and cannot be, any situation in which we don't respect the law and the judiciary. It is unacceptable to attack the courts; criticism is allowed, but attacks are not. It shakes the basis of our democracy.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The Jewish journey started in the land of Israel, and it always strove to return there against all odds and all limitations.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
It's not for the president to determine the arrangements between Israel and the Palestinians, and the Arab world, but to be the bridge between opinions and to facilitate dialogue and understanding.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Multiculturalism is a bed of beautiful roses that has some thorns, so we just have to be careful not to get pricked or to prick one another.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
A multicultural society does not reject the culture of the other but is prepared to listen, to see, to dialogue and, in the final analysis, to possibly accept the other's culture without compromising its own.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I hereby swear, in my name and that of all our descendants, that we will never act against the principle of equal rights, and we will never try and force someone from our land.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Every opinion must be suffered. One must listen to what may be rousing, annoying, even shocking, but it must be done honestly, fairly and with equanimity, respecting the rights of every Member of the Knesset and each faction, guarding the minority in the face of the predatory majority.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The president is the face of the State of Israel around the world: not a representative of a specific ideology but of the collective creativity and history of the Jewish people.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Those who know my stance on Israeli democracy also know that there is nothing more foreign to me than the rejection of a position different to my own.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The depth of this conflict, which is more than one hundred years old, requires us to find a way to communicate... so that the residents of the Middle East, Jews and Arabs alike, can live not as if they were forced to live together, but rather destined to live together.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We have many candidates, like in reality television, but we don't really have a leader.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We must immediately find the way to come and say to the U.S., 'Despite the difficult differences of opinion between us, there are no closer friends, and no better allies than you to us, and we to you.'
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I know that sometimes politics creates situations in which people want to say particular things for political reasons.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Peres came with a worldview. I also came with a worldview that I have not abandoned and that guides me still.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Undoubtedly, a democratic state without an alternative is a danger to democracy itself.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
In the end, Arik believes in security above all and is a salient pragmatist, a disciple of Ben-Gurion.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We are one family, and the connection between all Jews, all over the world, is very important to the State of Israel.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I believe that our democratic values are also born out of our Jewish faith, a 'love for the stranger,' and equality before the law - these are not foreign values: this is Judaism.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
It pains me to see the gap that exists in the public's consciousness - religious and secular - between the notion of Israel as a Jewish state and as a democratic state.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The relationship between the Jews and Arabs is necessary to help build a bridge between Israelis and Palestinians.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
When we come to the hospital to give birth, we don't come as a Jew or an Arab; we come as a human being.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
One cannot tell the High Court what to adjudicate. They must judge, and then the legislature must act accordingly.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I ask the members of the Knesset to be very strict about maintaining the principles of democracy.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
United Jerusalem has been and will forever be the capital of the Jewish People.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Conflicts, even just ones, which in the end can come at the expense of the State of Israel, are things that we must be very cautious about and hold back on personally.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
All over the Middle East, we face difficult challenges: the ongoing tragedy in Syria, the instability in Iraq, and the jihadist terrorism which dares to speak in the name of Islam, brings so many to seek refuge. The Hashemite Kingdom is facing all these challenges with honor, with dignity, and with great national and human solidarity.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The politicization of the presidency would pose a real threat to the institution and its function.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The ability of the president to be perceived as someone with whom all Israelis can identify depends on his ability to avoid being a party to debate.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We can establish a Jewish and democratic state, but the burden of proof is on us.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I won't allow any party to evade the question of which leader they support for prime minister.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Even if the Right says that Um Al-Fahm should be outside Israel, this is impossible.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There is a crisis on the Right. It sees the Jewish and democratic state as a democracy for the Jews. This is something I cannot countenance.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
All humanity share a common future, and we must work to try and shape it together. This is our duty, and it is our responsibility to our children and grandchildren.
