Terrorists want to remake the world in their own image and it is the image that is intolerant of the kinds of institutions that we cherish.

And if you look at the Palestinian world, victimized by every entity in the Middle East, they were massacred in every country. I think that, in Israel, the greatest fear that people have, and I have it, too, is this fear of genocide.
