Quote Of The Day

In the IDF and in the reserves everybody possible must serve. The burden must be distributed among all the citizens equally. The entire nation must participate in building the State, and the entire nation is obligated in participating in its defense and security.... The Middle East is stormy today, full of threats both old and new. One cannot take them lightly. One must also not get worked up from them. Israel is stronger than ever. Israel has its utensils of defense, those created in the past and those developed today, and those that will be developed tomorrow..

  -- President Shimon Peres, at a ceremony for excellence in IDF Reserves units

some are upset that Peres said this, taking a position on the haredi draft issue..
