“We, the soldiers who have returned from battles stained with blood; we who have seen our relatives and friends killed before our eyes; we who have attended their funerals and cannot look in the eyes of their parents; we who have come from a land where parents bury their children; we who have fought against you, the Palestinianswe say to you today, in a loud and a clear voice: enough of blood and tears. Enough.”
—Yitzhak Rabin (19221995)
