"We long ago grew accustomed to the ad nauseam “we have no partner” speeches, playing such a promising and reassuring melody to the average Israeli ear. According to this tune the whole world hates us and, in any event, we can’t trust the goyim, and even more so if they – heaven forbid – also happen to be Arabs.
WeÂ’ve grown so accustomed to this sound that weÂ’ve stopped asking ourselves what our national interest is. Why a change of the political situation, end to the occupation and convergence into a smaller area of land by means of a political settlement and a recognition of the rights of the neighboring peoples, is all for the good, especially for us. Conversely, there are all of the direct and indirect damages that would accrue from the absence of a solution and a continuation of the freeze; as an occupying people, the corruption of oneÂ’s morals."
