Rivlin: Kafr Qasim was an atrocious massacre
Reuven Rivlin became the first sitting Israeli president on Sunday to attend and address an annual ceremony marking the Kafr Qasim massacre. "It was an atrocious massacre. A severe crime was perpetrated here. It is a dark and irregular episode in the relations between us, the Jews and Arabs who live here."
"The Arab population in Israel is not a marginal group. It is an inseparable, integral part of this country. It will always be the secret ingredient in the Israeli society. We are destined to live side by side, we share the same future."
