Even when a couple of years later, Oslo, Deus Ex Machina, out of nowhere, Oslo came to the world.

As problematic as now we know de facto that Oslo was at the time, when it was launched, it was an eruption of hope.

It was again an offer for a different language.

We didn't grow into it.

So Israel does not have a vocabulary

or state of mind to talk peace.

Now, there is a different layer that I'm not at all sure we are, it's too early in the conversation between us, but this is the transformation from eternal Judaism that was a religion of powerlessness.

And if I would like to use Watzlaw Havel terminology, we had the power of powerlessness

And we transformed into Israelis with the power of the Almighty, and we feel much more threatened.

Or maybe both.

Maybe at the same time, we have opportunities and the threats are better threats, so to say.

Let's look at numbers just for a second.

When I was a student, I mean, at elementary school, a pupil, we were told that in 48, the year in which the state of Israel was born, seven Arab armies invaded the just-born state of Israel.

So 48, it was seven versus one.

In 67, 19 years later, it was only three out of the seven, Jordan, Egypt, and Syria.

Six years later in 73, it was only two out of the three, only Syria and Egypt.

Ever since, as broken as it is and as chilly as it is, with Egypt, we have a peace agreement and Syria in a very good day is a dysfunctioning threat.

So you can, and the Palestinian issue that was not there in 48 the way it is today was born along the road.

So you can say, listen, in eight decades, 48 to 26, from seven armies to half a problem, which is the Palestinian one, this is an evolution.

This is a positive progress.
