Remarks by the President at the Holocaust Days of Remembrance Ceremony
The White House web site, 23 April 2009
| Quote: | | How do we ensure that "never again" isn't an empty slogan, or merely an aspiration, but also a call to action? |

excerpts from:
Opening Remarks Before House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
by Hillary Rodham Clinton, US Foreign Minister
Washington, DC, 23 April 2009
[emphasis added]
| Quote: | [W]e have been working closely with our friends and partners and interested nations with respect to engaging with Iran. […] Every [Arab] country with whom I have personally met -- and that's most of them by now -- wants very much to support the strongest possible posture toward Iran. […] This unites Israel and the Arab neighbors in the region. Everyone is concerned, as we are, about Iran's activities.
We are concerned both about their pursuit of nuclear weapons and about their interference in the internal affairs of their neighbors and their support for terrorism and organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. […]
We could argue -- and many Arab countries have -- and […] [Jordan’s] King Abdullah […] has made public statements to this effect -- that for Israel to get the kind of strong support it's looking for vis-a-vis Iran it can't stay on the sideline with respect to the Palestinian and the peace efforts, that they go hand-in-hand […] They believe that Israel's willingness to re-enter into discussions with the Palestinian Authority [i.e. Fatah] strengthens them in being able to deal with Iran. […]
And we have to sort of get everybody together in one place, which hasn't yet happened, to figure out how that can proceed.
[…]
Well, the proposed missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic is designed to address a threat from Iran. […] We've been telling the Russians over and over again, this is about Iran; we think Iran is a threat to Europe and to you. |

excerpt from: EU president: Europe blind to scale of Iran threat
by Barak Ravid, Haaretz, 25 April 2009
| Quote: | | The rhetoric of the Israeli officials [on the issue of Iran] is understandable. […] [T]he fact that Iran is a threat whose danger can be magnified if the country will have a nuclear weapon - that is something the entire world knows about. The fact that the EU is somewhat underestimating this threat is also true. Nevertheless all of us are looking at this twin track approach toward Iran. I think that there is still time for hard power against Iran, but only after all soft-power means have been already used. |
[outgoing Czech Prime Minister Topolanek, Haaretz interview, 24 April 2009]

Vilna'i: War can erupt any day, and Israelis need to know this
by Yaakov Katz, Jerusalem Post, 24 April 2009
| Quote: | | "The Israeli home front will be part of any future war. Everyone needs to know that there is a chance in the next war that a missile will fall in their backyard. In contrast to the past, this time we are not scared of preparing the entire population for this possibility." |
[Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna’i, 23 April 2009]
