It is clear that the possibility that an assassination would occur was too frightening, so much so that we could not have dared to imagine or think it. It therefore remained stashed away like some raw explosives, without any transformations, waiting to explode at any moment. Lies, which do need thinkers and formulators, filled the space, obscuring the truth and blocking its way into the open. The truth, which remained with no thinker and did not undergo any transformation, came out into the open in an acute and drastic way. For a long time now there existed in Israel a split between the peace talks and the attempts at dialogue on the one side, and the language of violence which simultaneously runs wild and does not respond to dialogues and words on the other.
Political violence is a recurring and unchanging phenomenon.
Its essence is the antithesis of dialogue. A dialogue is a state of change, of moving forward and of growth. Terror, on the other hand, represents the stubborn elements repeating themselves time and again. These element appear in the most primitive and cruel form. The violent code appears as a form of repetition, a repetitive movement which always begins and ends the same way.
