Paved with bad intentions

Quote:

We are now at the beginning of a civil war. We cannot know whether or not blood will be spilled. But even if there will be no killed and wounded, this war will determine the future of Israel. This will be a struggle between the majority, which is mostly secular, mostly liberal and mostly democratic, against a fanatic minority that is mostly very nationalistic, very religious, messianic and, basically, anti-democratic, preferring the decrees of their rabbis to the laws of the Knesset. The results will not only decide whether we shall move towards peace with the Palestinians and the Arab world, but also what will be the character of the State of Israel itself.
