"Suddenly, a season of peace seems to be warming the world. The last few months have seen five bitter and protracted conflicts brought suddenly closer to peaceful resolution. In the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Central America, populations stunned and bleeding by endless regional war look up and hope. Rarely have so many such wars seemed to be drawing to a close at once. Is the world doing something right? Or is the coincidence of peace as uncontrollable as some favorable conjunction of its planets?"
New York Times 1988
"And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they learn war any more."
Old Testament prophecy quoted by Premier Menachem Begin at the signing of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in 1979
