"The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls -- the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning." ~ Henry David Thoreau
"IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot responded Tuesday to a petition signed by about 60 students declaring their refusal to enlist in the IDF, telling them to serve the country first and to become activists after. Calling the petition a “serious problem” Eisenkot urged them to enlist saying during a speech at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center that “those who grow up in the State of Israel should be committed to defending the country. It’s a mutual responsibility.”"
