The Flourishing of Jewish Sects in the Maccabean Era: An Interpretation

Upon encountering this passage from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's 1993 speech I was quite nearly moved to tears:

"We are destined to live together, on the same soil in the same land.
We, the soldiers who have returned from battle stained with blood,
we who have seen our relatives and friends killed before our eyes,
we who have attended their funerals and cannot look into the eyes
of parents and orphans, we who have come from a land where
parents bury their children, we who have fought against you, the Palestinians -
we say to you today in a loud and clear voice:
Enough of blood and tears. Enough. We harbour no hatred towards
you. We have no desire for revenge. We, like you, are people who
want to build a home, plant a tree, love, live side by side with you
- in dignity, in empathy, a human beings, as free men. We are
today giving peace a chance and saying to you: Enough. Let's pray
that a day will come when we all will say: Farewell to arms."

This is a brilliant survey of Israeli history. I thoroughly enjoy reading it.
