Eli Yishai Quotes

Patriotism can flourish only where racism and nationalism are given no quarter. We should never mistake patriotism for nationalism. A patriot is one who loves his homeland. A nationalist is one who scorns the homelands of others.

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism is when hate for people other than your own comes first.

The way I see it, anyone who's proud of their country is either a thug or just hasn't read enough history yet.

What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing. Is it simply self-love?
