דאמר ר' שמואל בר נחמן אמר ר' יונתן מאי דכתיב (שמות יד, כ) ולא קרב זה אל זה כל הלילה באותה שעה בקשו מלאכי השרת לומר שירה לפני הקב"ה אמר להן הקב"ה מעשה ידי טובעין בים ואתם אומרים שירה לפני
אמר ר' יוסי בר חנינא הוא אינו שש אבל אחרים משיש דיקא נמי דכתיב (דברים כח, סג) ישיש ולא כתיב ישוש שמע מינה
Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥman says in the name of Rabbi Yonatan: ... At that time the ministering angels wanted to recite a song before the Holy Blessed One. But the Holy Blessed One said to them: Ones created by My hands are drowning in the sea, and you would recite a song before Me?
Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina says: God does not rejoice; rather, others feel joy because of God's actions. ...
Yitzchak Rabin
"We did not rejoice in battle. We wanted nothing to do with war. It was forced upon us by countries and by organizations that wanted – and some of which still want – to destroy us. We ended every war as victors. We came out of every war wounded. The scars of wars stay with us."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
William Tecumseh Sherman
"I am sick and tired of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have never fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of those who are wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell."
