Thought Of The Day

"The state.... must see the sword as the main if not the only, instrument with which to keep its morale high and to retain its moral tension. Toward this end it may know it MUST invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of provocation and revenge.... And above all, let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space." - Diary of Moshe Sharett, Israeli's first Foreign Minister from 1948--1956, and Prime Minister from 1954--1956.
