"If we cannot find ways of peace and understanding, if the only way of establishing the Jewish National Home is upon the bayonets of some Empire, our whole enterprise is not worthwhile, and it is better that the Eternal People that has outlived many a mighty empire should possess its soul in patience... It is one of the great civilizing tasks before the Jewish people to enter the promised land, not in the Joshua way, but bringing peace and culture, hard work and sacrifice and love, and a determination to do nothing that cannot be justified before the conscience of the world." -- Judah Magnes, Chancellor, Hebrew University - Jerusalem, 1929.

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither, and will lose both." - Benjamin Franklin.

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison.

"Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain." -Friedrich Schiller.

"The best form of government is the separation and equilibrium of the executive, legislative, and judiciary; every people as an indefeasible right to as much freedom as can coexist with order, and each must be taxed in proportion to his income." -- Christoph Martin Wieland.

"Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict." One of the best documentaries ever made on the subject.
