What Might Have Been....................from Dan Friedman

[Netanyahu’s cringing apology to Turkey, already blowing up in Israel’s face, brings to mind these words written over a century ago. I know it’s pointless, but still, imagine Israel’s position in the world today if the great Jabotinsky (1880 – 1940) had lived as many years as Ben Gurion (1886 –1973). df]

Instead of Excessive Apology (1911)

We do not have to account to anybody, we are not to sit for anybody's examination and nobody is old enough to call on us to answer. We came before them and will leave after them.

By Ze’ev Jabotinsky
