“The Arab population in Israel is not a marginal group … We are destined to live side by side and we share the same fate.”

“The criminal killing that took place in your village is an irregular and dark chapter in the history of the relationship between Arabs and Jews living here … A terrible crime was committed here, illegal orders topped by a black flag were given here. We must look directly at what happened. It is our duty to teach this difficult incident and to draw lessons.” (Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin speaking during a memorial service marking the Kfar Kassem massacre, 26/10/2014)
