"The extremists are talking too loudly, and everyone is convinced that only he is on the right side. Itâ€™s not just Jews against Arabs. Itâ€™s the Orthodox versus those who donâ€™t think they can keep all six hundred and thirteen commandments of the Bible. Itâ€™s rich people versus poor people. At some point, something came over Israel so that everyone has his own ideasâ€”and everyone else is an enemy. Itâ€™s a dialogue among deaf people and it is getting more and more serious."
