以下のイスラエルの意思表示はお見事です。動乱の続く中東地域で唯一、安定して平和な中で発展を続けることによって、地域内に光を照らすという使命です。「彼らが襲撃し続ける間、我々は建設し続ける」という表現は、ヘブライ語で普通に使われるのでしょうか？
明日の夕方からユダヤ暦の新年ですが（http://d.hatena.ne.jp/itunalily/20120916）、警戒を怠らないように暗示しつつも、お正月を楽しむように呼びかけていらっしゃいます。一国の指導者たるもの、これぐらいのメッセージを期待したいですね。

Netanyahu: ‘While They Shoot at Each Other, We Build for Each Other’, 2 September 2013
Speaking at the inauguration of the Golani interchange in Israel’s Lower Galilee on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that while the country’s neighbors, Syria, to the north, and Egypt, to the south, are engulfed in civil unrest and war, Israel continues to develop its land.
“We have very great tasks in light of what is occurring throughout our region both near and far. While they shoot at each other, we build for each other,” the Prime Minister said.
“Our state is peaceful, certain of the strength of the IDF and sure in itself because it knows that it can defend itself. I will not allow anyone to harm the State of Israel. I ask you to go out and enjoy the holiday [Rosh Hashana, Jewish New Year] and if someone thinks of harming the tranquility of the holiday, he knows what awaits him,” he said.
