Fundamentalist S Live Life With An Exclamation

It Is Wrong To Take An 18-year-old Boy Or Girl And Arm Them With Machine Guns And Make Them The Almighty King Of Some Little Arab Village. No Young Man, And No Old Man Either, Should Have So Much Power Over The Life And Death Of So Many Helpless Individuals. It Is Corrupting. It Sometimes Provokes Desperate, Savage And Indiscriminate Violence Among The Occupied.

Now, Israel Is A Fulfillment, And As A Fulfillment, It Is Flawed. The Fact That It Is Flawed Is Not So Much A Testimony About The Failures Of Israel. No, It Is A Testimony About The Nature Of Dreams.

What Is Likely To Happen? Either An Escalation Of Violence Or An Entire Change In The Whole Middle East Theater. It May Well Happen, And I Say This To My Palestinian Friends, That The Palestinians Have In A Certain Way Missed Their Hour. They Had Their Moment When The World's Public Opinion Was Behind Them, And A Considerable Part Of The Israeli Public Was Willing To Compromise With Them.

The Jews Have A Powerful Ally, America, But They Do Not Really Have A Bigger Family In The Same Way That There Is A European Family Or An Arab-muslim Family. People Who Fail To Understand This Ambivalence Will Never Understand This Country. They Will Not Be Able To Understand How Netanyahu Could Win The Last Election By Saying The Iranians Are Coming, Islamic State (is) Is Coming, The Arabs Are Coming, And The Whole World Hates Us Anyway.

No Human Being Really Begins On The Day Which Appears In The Passport As Their Date Of Birth. We All Begin Much Much Much Earlier.
