Sword of Gideon (1986)

Quotes

Sword of Gideon

Edit
  • Gen. Harrari: [Speaking at his first meeting with the unit] There are seven men on your list. Each one of them is responsible for the death of innocent people, some of them Jewish, like the athletes at Munich, some of them Christians, like the pilgrims at Lod Airport. You will be responsible for the death of each one of them. An eye for an eye. You are Israeli justice. You are the Sword of Gideon... unsheathed.
  • Golda Meir: For this reason more than anything I hate the terrorists,: they're forcing our sons to become killers.
  • Gen. Harrari: If a man can't make up his mind in a day, he never can.
  • Golda Meir: Jews? Who are we? For 2000 years, we have been born with a faith and a hope. But you, you Avner, were born with something else. You were born here. You can say to the world... "I am a Jew" and also "This is my home". We have a homeland again. A Jewish State. The State of Israel. It exists to protect us from our enemies and provide us with a haven in this world where we can live in peace. But they will not let us live in peace. Once again, they're killing and terrorizing Jews all over the world. Innocent people, even children. In planes, on buses, in schools. In Athens, in Zurich, in Tel Aviv. And now... in Munich. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is playing volleyball and winning medals. So, we are alone, as we have always been. Since no one will defend us, we must defend ourselves. Maybe these terrorists will not let us live in peace, but I promise you that Israel will chop off the hands of those who will cut short the lives of our children. This terrorism, all terrorism, must be stopped! And this is why you are here. I have decided to strike back. We have been reluctant to change policy but the guilty must not go unpunished. This is my decision and my responsibility. We will meet force with force.
  • Maj. G. Rashon: If a man can't make up his mind in a day, he never can.
  • Popeye: Rule number 1. When you pull your trigger, you pull it twice.
  • Popeye: Who do you think you are? Clint Eastwood? You are not damn Dirty Harry. You are a agent. Secret agent. You want to carry a cannon in your pocket? In your job, this is your gun. 22 caliber Bereta. Uh you want... you want big gun. Your enemy maybe an elefant. No, no, no your enemy is tank. No gun can beat a tank. You want bazzoka. If your enemy is man, little gun enough.
