Quotation from Martin Buber “The power to heal our people of their murderous sickness of causeless hatred” — Jan. 1961

Famous philosopher who was a supporter of a binational state, in the magazine Ner of the binationalist group Ichud (Unity).

Author : Thematics :
" Only an internal revolution can have the power to heal our people of their murderous sickness of causeless hatred. It is bound to bring complete ruin upon us. Only then will the old and young in our land realize how great was our responsibility to those miserable Arab refugees in whose towns we have settled Jews who were brought from afar; whose homes we have inherited, whose fields we now sow and harvest; the fruit of whose gardens, orchards and vineyards we gather; and in whose cities that we robbed, we put up houses of education, charity, and prayer while we babble and rave about being the 'people of the book' and the 'light of the nations.' "

Martin Buber. In Thud’s Ner , January-February 1961.
