Reuven Rivlin Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Reuven Rivlin:

The idea that the State of Israel could be democracy only for its Jewish citizens is unconscionable, and we must find a way to address this.

All humanity share a common future, and we must work to try and shape it together. This is our duty, and it is our responsibility to our children and grandchildren.
