תיאור:

-המטרה של ארגונו של ינון, הבית, לקדם את יחסי היהודים המוסלמים בשטחים, לחזק את הלגיטימיות של השלטון היהודי עליהם, ולקבל את פני הערבים שרוצים "לקשור את גורלם" עם ישראל.
-עת למלחמה, עת לשלום; עכשיו זה הזמן להראות לערבים את כוחנו
-אנחנו חייבים לכבוש את עזה
-צריך למחוק את האידיאולוגיה של חמאס, לא רק את הלוחמים
ינון לא שומר מצוות אלא מאמין בשליחות היהודית שלנו בעולם
-היכן שונים ינון והרב פרומן
-שיהודים יכולים לחיות בשמחה תחת שלטון מוסלמי זה מיתוס
-לולה מספרת על מבוי סתום בהכנת סרטוני הסבארה- קריאה על מדיניות אחרי 67 שנועדה לעודד ערבים להגר מעזה- גם עם הגזר וגם עם המקל
-יעדים שהמנהיגות הישראלית צריכה להגדיר לעצמה
-חמאס מכחיש את הטבח ב-7 באוקטובר
-הציווי לישראל לקחת אחריות על החינוך של ערביי ישראל
-כל העיניים נשואות לישראל, איזה פוטנציאל יש לנו
-להשפיע על העולם אם ניצור שלום
-החשיבות של לימוד ערבית של יהודים
-פעילים דתיים יהודים לא רוצים להיראות כשמאלנים, פעילי שלום ערבים לא רוצים שיראו אותם כחלק מנורמליזציה
-חמאס תכנן לגרש אותנו החוצה באמצעות פחד. ניצחון כרוך בהראות להם שאנחנו לא רק נעזוב, אנחנו נשלוט
