A quotation from Cicero

I continue to urge peace. Even an unjust peace is better than the most just of wars against one’s countrymen.
 
[Equidem ad pacem hortari non desino; quae vel iniusta utilior est quam iustissimum bellum cum civibus.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Epistulae ad Atticum [Letters to Atticus], Book 7, Letter 14, sec. 3 (7.14.3) (49 BC) [tr. Shackleton Bailey (1968), # 138]

"Start with the fact tt both #Hamas & #Netanyahu hv always had the same overriding goal: to thwart the "two-state" #peace settlement .. So in 1995, a #farright Jewish radical assassinated Israeli PM #YitzhakRabin .. who signed the "Oslo Accords" tt promised a #twostate #peacesettlement .. Hamas then helped Netanyahu into power in the 1996 election by launching a terrorist campaign of bus bombings that drove enough Israelis into his arms to win the election" #StopNetanyahu
