The human rights organizations are the most legitimate and healthy thing today in Israeli society. They are trying to wake a dormant society, a blocked society... And the reason [prime ministers Naftali] Bennett and Bibi [Netanyahu] are spending so much time saying they're illegitimate is because they're saying the truth about the occupation and of what's happening. And Bibi and Bennett know that on the day Israeli citizens wake up and discover what's happening beyong the Green Line, what it does to our solidiers, to the children who are raised there, to the elderly, to the families, to the millions of innocent people, what it does to our budget, our society, our economy? On that day, the people will ask themselves if the occupied territories are really worth it.

If for once we could wake up before the war. Because before now we only wake up after. We had to have the Yom Kippur War to have peace with Egypt. We had to have the intifada to have the Oslo Accords. If only for once we could be smart enough to reach a peace agreement before the war. Worse case, after it or another one after that, but in the end we'll wake up.
