Those who have taken the entire dish onto their plates, leaving others’ plates empty, and who, having taken it all, say with a straight face and a clear conscience, “We who have everything are for peace!”—I know exactly what I must shout at them: You are the first to be violent; you are the instigators of all violence!

And when, in the evening, in your beautiful homes, you go to kiss your grandchildren, with a clear conscience, you probably have more blood on your hands—unaware of it, in God’s eyes—than the desperate person who took up arms to try to escape their despair will ever have.

But let’s not fool ourselves: violence isn’t limited to weapons; there are situations of violence.
