CHRIS
MATTHEWS: Well, just to repeat, you believe
that the Palestinians who are now living on the
West Bank should get out of there?
Rep.
ARMEY: Yes.
[...]
I'm content to have Israel grab the entire
West Bank. I'm also content to have
the Palestinians have a homeland and even for
that to be somewhere near Israel, but I'm not
content to see Israel give up land for the purpose
of peace to the Palestinians who will not accept
it and would not honor it.
[...]
There are many Arab
nations that have many hundreds of thousands of
acres of land and--and soil and property
and opportunity to create a Palestinian state.
[...]I
am content to have Israel occupy that land that
it now occupies and to have those people who have
been aggressors against Israel retired to some
other arena, and I would be happy to
have them make a home. I would be happy to have
all of these Arab nations that have been so hell
bent to drive Israel out of the Middle East to
get together, find some land and make a home for
the Palestinians. I think it can be done.
[...]I
am perfectly content to have Israel hold and occupy
the land that it has at this moment.
