letters from yoni

"I would rather opt for living here in continual battle than for becoming part of the wandering Jewish people. Any compromise will simply hasten the end." (A letter to his brother Benjamin on his decision to stay in Israel)

"The real cause is the sense of helplessness in the face of a war that has no end. For the war has not ended, and it seems to me that it will go on and on… This is the 'quiet' before the next storm. I've no doubt that war will come. Nor do I doubt that we will win. But for how long? Until when?.. We're young, and we were not born for wars alone." (A year after the Six Days War)
