I don't think that they are better people than us and I don't think that we are better people than them. A Palestinian for me is a human being. So if he says he wants to kill me, I believe him. I don't say, "Well, he's just a savage, so we have to give up, we have to be rational and leave the irrational killing to the Arabs; we have to forgive them. I'm totally non-racist. Who says that we have to give up, we have to give and let them kill us because we are more "elevated" people than they are? It's the same racism as saying we are better than they are.-- Yehuda Amichai
