“Every time we do something, you [Shimon Peres] tell me America will do this and will do that... I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.”

— Ariel Sharon
Israeli Prime Minister,
Knesset, Tel Aviv, October 3, 2001


I can't actually believe that a quote like that exists and its not known in the mainstream.
