“As long as the Arabs preserve a gleam of hope that they will succeed in getting rid of us, nothing in the world can cause them to relinquish this hope, precisely because they are not a rabble but a living people.”
--The Iron Wall, Vladimir Jabotinsky, 4 November 1923
[The JPost essay linked to below by Martin Sherman is not about the early days of Zionism or a wistful remembrance of the Jews’ greatest political thinker. If Israel is ever to live in peace with the Arabs, it must be taken as a reaffirmation of Jabotinsky’s timeless principle which desperately needs to be applied to Israel in the here and now. df]

“A perfect storm is brewing for Israel. After years of counterproductive concessions, if the Jews wish to preserve their sovereignty, what is required is ruthless resolve, not reticent restraint.”
