“There, in the bases of southern Lebanon, I fell in love with our wonderful nation,” the prime minister went on. “Many friends remain there… They were 19 or 20 years old and didn’t return. The connection between us all was natural, something that did not even need to be discussed…Each risked his life for the other. We were brothers.”
“This is the most important lesson in our history, and I do not tire of repeating it,” stressed Bennett. “In the first instance, our first state, in the days of David and Solomon, [the state] survived 80 years as a united and sovereign kingdom. In the 81st year, because of internal conflicts, the country split in two, and we lost forever most of our people, the ten tribes.”
