"We are tired of fighting and winning", bemoaned Ehud Olmert.
Well, there was someone before him.
Moshe Sharett's volume of selected speeches and documents has just appeared and on p. 554 I found that in a speech to the 24th Zionist Congress, on April 24, 1956, in response to an attack on the government by Menachem Begin, Sharett said:
"This government...prefers peace to victory".
Other nations call this defeatism.
