The Beirut Protocol Quotes

“reconfirmed—less than an hour ago, in fact—”
― Joel C. Rosenberg, The Beirut Protocol

“The Israelis might be crafty, but they were also stingy. They would not pay cash. They did not believe they had cash to burn. All the Israelis ever offered to get their people back with Palestinian prisoners — hundreds, even thousands of them. XXX

The Americans, on the other hand, were rich. And stupid. They did not exchange prisoners. They dropped off pallets of cash. By the planeload. And they did not seem to believe in vengeance. They pay top dollar to get their people returned, and they never looked back.”
― Joel C. Rosenberg, The Beirut Protocol
