3 Quotes by Amiram Levin

1. There is apartheid in Judea and Samaria [The West Bank], the IDF has started being complicit in war crimes, they stand on the sidelines and watch the Hilltop Youth terrorize the Palestinians and do nothing. The IDF has rotted from the core.

2. We will give [the Palestinians] a carrot in the form of a state, and if they don’t want it, we will tear them apart. I have said many times in the past that next time we have a war, they will no longer remain here, we will kick them out to the other side of the Jordan River. That’s how we need to fight. We were too nice in ’67.

3. I want to move on to one point, speaking of Gaza, speaking of Lebanon, and other places we'll occupy in the future. Since we want to maintain equilibrium as a developed country, punishment as a strategy should be the main element. In punishment you have room to maneuver, you decide whether you slap them once or twice, in front or from behind, whether to strike property or leaders, but the main objective of units in the field is to kill the enemy. Before he makes contact, while he makes contact, and then when he retreats. That's the most important thing. Quantity is more important than quality. One mistake the [Israeli] Army makes is judging each case individually, whether the person deserves to die or not. Most of these people [Gazans, Palestinians, Lebanese, Arabs] were born to die, we just have to help them.
