In its Declaration of Independence on May 15, 1948, Israel stretched out its hand in peace to its Arab neighbors, calling for an end to war and bloodshed. In response, seven Arab states invaded Israel. The U.N. resolution that partitioned the country was thus violated and effectively annulled.

Sometimes I wonder: What are the children thinking? And sometimes I wonder why the hell I’m not buying a tree like the other neighbors. After all, there is no mention in Christianity of Christmas trees, and even if there were – is there any good reason why I shouldn’t be buying some red stockings?
I think after 9/11, here in America, I saw something extraordinary. I saw neighbors looking after neighbors. I don’t think anybody asked who anybody voted for. It was people taking care of other people.

I watched ‘The Neighbors’ when it first came on, and I thought it was hysterical. And every time I think something just tickles my funny bone, I call my agent and say, ‘You know, I like this show. If they’re ever looking for somebody, I’d like to work with them.’
I live in New York. I lost some 150 friends, neighbors and constituents on Sept. 11.
What I do is I always try to educate myself about my neighbors, about the people I meet.
If you want to annoy your neighbors, tell the truth about them.
The economic importance of maintaining strong trade relations with our two closest neighbors cannot be overstated. Any decision negatively affecting the free flow of trade from Missouri to Canada and Mexico would have undesirable economic consequences. Thousands of jobs and billions of dollars are at stake.
I like the fact that Austin’s the first place I’ve ever lived where there’s a real sense of community. People care about their neighbors.

The dignity of our neighbors deserves to be defended.
Specifically, the U.S. holds strength. Its own context makes it a very competitive country, but I believe that if we recognize how interdependent the U.S. with its neighbors from the North and the South, we are part of NAFTA, a trade agreement.
My friends and neighbors were always fixing their cars. Soldiers who felt restless wanted to work on something, and they understood cars. Me, I like to look at cars but I was never really a mechanic.

Neighbors broke the news that my parents had been taken away by immigration officers, and just like that, my stable family life was over.
I scare the neighbors, the kids… They don’t come to my house for trick-or-treating, trust me. I had to buy exactly zero amount of dollars worth of candy for the past couple of years.
