"...Sure. Are you blind or something? Can't you see what's going on? These wars and all the bullshit? Quarreling and killing all the time, instead of living it up? Eating their hearts out and then shooting and planting bombs. I'm against the situation. I happen to be quite a Zionist, if you must know."

"You're *what*??"

"A Zionist. Wanting everyone to be okay. And for everyone to do just a little for the country, even something really tiny, just half an hour a day so they can feel good and know they're still needed. If you don't do anything, very soon you start getting into trouble. Take you and your husbands for instance. Not one of the three of yuo knows what it really means to live. You just fuss all the time instead of doing something. Including that 'saint' and his mates from the territories. They're living off the Bible, living off politics, living off speeches and arguments, instead of living off life. It's the same thing with the Arabs. They've learned from the Jews how to eat their hearts out and how to eat each other and how to eat people instead of ordinary food. I'm not saying the Arabs aren't bastards. They are, and worse. So what? Bastards are still human beings. Not shit. It's a shame for them to die. In the end the Jews will finish them off or they'll finish the Jews off or they'll finish each other off and there'll be nothing left in this country except the Bible and the Koran and the foxes and and burned ruins."



(I like it. Zionism is a dirty word nowadays, but it shouldnt be. People here will read the above and pick what to agree with and what to ignore. Amos Oz paints the picture like it is, its very complex...)
