We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and gun barrel, we shall not be able to plant a tree or build a house.

We could not guard every water pipeline from being blown up and every tree from being uprooted. We could not prevent every murder of a worker in an orchard or a family in their beds.

Let us not be afraid to see the hatred that consumes the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs who sit around us and wait for the moment when their hands will be able to reach our blood.

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves. Let us make our reckoning today.

To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger.
