All too often arrogance accompanies strength, and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by moral choice.

In my mind the city of Ariel is a thorn in Israel's side and a serious obstacle to peace.

What moves me is neither ethnocentric pride nor sectarian arrogance. I make no claim that Jewish culture is superior to other cultures. But it is mine.

Too often, the landlord-tenant relationship is unbalanced with all the power on the side of unscrupulous landlords.

Must we be put to shame by much smaller and poorer countries, by Ireland, France, Austria or Sweden, who have understood that a nation's support of its arts is a matter of both national pride and cultural survival?

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
