Netanyahu to Elie Wiesel: 'I wish I could promise you, Elie, that the lessons of history have been learned'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel during his Congress speech and said, "Ellie your life and work inspire us to give meaning to the words 'never again.'"

 

"I wish I could promise you, Elie, that the lessons of history have been learned," said Netanyahu. Netanyahu warned not "to sacrifice the future for the present. Not to ignore agression in the hopes of gaining illusory peace."

 

"The days when the Jewish people remain passive in the face of agression - those days are over," said the prime minister.
