I was learning, as I did in the Ministry of Defense. I never knew, but I always learned. – Shimon Peres
Israel was born under the British mandate. We learned from the British what democracy means, and how it behaves in a time of danger, war and terror. We thank Britain for introducing freedom and respect of human rights both in normal and demanding circumstances. – Shimon Peres
