"The selective information on which the court's ruling is based will inevitably result in a boycott of goodsfirst those from Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights and then those from Israel as a wholeby such consumers," "In doing so, the court has knowingly adopted the arguments long propounded by the BDS movement, whose extremist agenda aims to destroy the economy of Israel as a whole in order to force it to capitulate to the Palestinians. This, despite repeated and consistent denunciations of BDS by officials of the European Union, who I know recognize that boycotts only encourage extremists and destroy the foundations of any future peace"

To our regret, we are sometimes judged by our productivity [in terms] of legislation. During the short-lived recent Knesset, more than 500 bills were put on the table, and one passed. In each of the previous Knessets, [only 4 percent of the bills submitted became law]. I don’t think you would keep a factory worker with such a production rate,”
