Literature Is Not Made Of Ideas And

Literature Exists Inside The Language. It's Made Of Words.

Dreams Fulfilled Are Imperfect.

In Some Of The Israeli Media, But Not All, They Read About Very Nasty Things Done By Israeli Settlers And Soldiers To Palestinian Arabs. This Is A Pain In The Neck For Many Israelis. They Say: Leave Us Alone, What Can We Do About It? Or They Say: Look At Syria, Look At Iraq, The West Bank Is Paradise By Comparison. I Was One Of The First To Say, Shortly After The Six-day War, That Occupation Is Corrupting. It Corrupts The Occupier And, In A Different Way, It Corrupts The Occupied.

That's My Gutsy Advice To Any Young Writer: Write Only About What You Know Well.

Literature Belongs First And Foremost To The Language In Which It Is Being Written.
