What more could need to be said, especially when one considers that these words come from none other than a Jew, and a famous one ? And considering that these words appear to still perfectly apply to the current situation, and this despite the fact that they have been uttered more than a decade ago (in 1991), should they not be seen as being precisely all the more pertinent ?
“This wasteful governing by fear, by contempt for the basic dignities of life, this steady asphyxiation of a dependent people, should be the very last means to be adopted by those who themselves know too well the awful significance, the unforgettable suffering of such an existence. It is unworthy of my great people, the Jews, who have striven to abide by a code of moral rectitude for some 5,000 years, who can create and achieve a society for themselves such as we see around us but can yet deny the sharing of its great qualities and benefits to those dwelling amongst them.”
So, be it only for showing that it is apparently no more difficult to a Jew than to anyone to see how absurd and unacceptable can be the fact that Israel inflicts to another people a treatment that it should be the first to despise, thank you, Yehudi Menhin !…
