And this is the time. It is the time for this land to become again a witness to the world for what is noble and just in human affairs.

But ending it is a greater moral imperative now than ever before, because for the first time humanity has the instruments at hand to defeat this cruel enemy at a very reasonable cost. We have the ability to provide food for all within the next three decades.
