This rally must send a message to the Israeli people, to the Jewish people around the world, to the many people in the Arab world, and indeed to the entire world, that the Israeli people want peace, support peace. For this, I thank you.

What I, as the prime minister of the present government of Israel, started to do, is first to tackle the longest part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Enough of blood and tears. Enough!

We must think differently, look at things in a different way. Peace requires a world of new concepts, new definitions.

We have the right to ensure our security, especially when it is possible to reach agreement on a political solution.

Military cemeteries in every corner of the world are silent testimony to the failure of national leaders to sanctify human life.

I, serial number 30743, Major General Yitzhak Rabin, am a soldier in the army of peace.
