“Every war is a defeat. Nothing is solved with war. Nothing. Everything is won with peace and dialogue. They entered the kibbutzim and took hostages and killed. And then came the reaction. The Israelis went to look for those hostages to save them.” This is how the Dad in the long interview with the director of Rai’s Tg1 news program, Gian Marco Chiocci, broadcast after the 8:00 p.m. news program in Italy.
“In war, one slap provokes another. One strong and another even stronger and so it goes. War is a defeat. I felt it like another defeat. Two peoples that must live together. With that wise solution: two peoples two states. The Oslo agreement: two very limited states and Jerusalem with a special status“.
