Did you ever come across a quote from someone and say – that’s it. Those are my words. That’s what I was thinking…exactly that.
Well, this is one like that. From Golda Meir, speaking of President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt in 1970…
I have given instructions that I be informed every time one of our soldiers is killed, even if it is in the middle of the night. When President Nasser leaves instructions that he is to be awakened in the middle of the night if an Egyptian soldier is killed, there will be peace.

You could replace Nasser’s name with pretty much any other Arab leader in the world…and the quote would still be true.
Read it again. Just that. Exactly that. Yes…that.
