"צריך להפסיק עם הדיבורים שאם נבנה עוד מפעלים, נצטרך לקנות פחות שניים שלושה אף-16. זה ממש לא שם. צריך קודם כל לקבוע את היעדים. בוא נקבע מה היעד, אני בטוח שנמצא לזה מקורות. ואם, לא תהיה בררה, ושאלת האף-16 תעמוד מול ערך האדם, אני אכריע לטובת האדם, ולא לטובת האף-16"

We should stop using the argument that if we build more factories here, we will have to buy two or three less F-16s. That's really not the case. First, it is needed to set the goals. Let's set the goal, and I'm certain that we will find resources for it. And if, there is no choice, and the question of the F-16 will stand opposed to human dignity, I will decide in favor of the human being, and not in favor of the F-16.
