Biography

Beilin was raised in Tel Aviv in a "traditional liberal" household. At the age of Bar Mitzvah, he adopted a more rigorously religious life, though did not choose to wear a Yarmulke (traditional Jewish cap). He studied in Herzliya Gymnasium school. In the IDF, he served in the signal corps and participated in the Six-Day War (1967) in Sinai in Division 8. In the Yom Kippur War (1973) he served in the army headquarters. The trauma of the war shook his faith and he left the religious lifestyle.

Famous quotes by Yossi Beilin:

"We are not talking about Netanyahu II,"
"We cannot let the wretched murderers kill our peace process,"
"We want to form the widest government possible."
"Withdrawing from Gaza offers real political opportunities for peace,"
"How do I know that? He told me that. He said to me: 'You believe in peace, I don't believe we can have peace. For sure not in the foreseeable future, so I will go very very slowly'."
"First of all, we did not sign any agreement. I think that we are patriots who are trying to save ourselves. This is more than legitimate."
"The terrorist attack (suicide bombing) was crazy and cruel, ... The retaliation was perhaps natural, but totally unneeded, and did not contribute anything to calming down the situation."
"If anyone really wants to get prisoners released, the last thing he should do to encourage it is to continue with this process, because not one of us will countenance release of prisoners on the background of columns of smoke in the territories,"
"close on everything: on the settlements, on the borders, on the refugees, and on Jerusalem."
"It is a golden opportunity when the American administration is ready to be so much involved and has invested so much in the peace process, ... I am still optimistic about getting the solution in the very near future."

No Sign Of Rain

by: Jessie Baylin

Didn't think i'd feel this.
Thought it'd pass with the days gone by
But it just goes on growing
Wide across my land
I got so used to be lonely, didn't think that i could change
But now i'm staring up at the sky and there's no sign of any rain...
Its hard for me to trust it
I'm waiting on the worst to come
Cause everywhere i've been
I never thought that i could stay
I got so used to indecision, didn't think that i could change
But now i'm staring up at the sky and there's no sign of any rain...
Oooo Ooooooo Ooo OooooooOooooooo
Everyday can't be rainy
And everyday the sun can't shine
But isn't it amazing
When one goes on and on
I got so used to repition, didn't think that it could change
But now i'm staring up at the sky and there's no sign of any rain
