Quotations

"The time is long overdue for Jews to return to their role as the world's conscience, who come to the aid of the dispossessed, the wretched of the earth. Once again, we must join those who demand the end to unjust wars—in Iraq as well as Lebanon—and an unjust occupation in Gaza." ("Why Doesn’t Israel Work for Peace?" Newsday, Aug. 3, 2006)
