Israel: Two Stories in One

An Israeli liberal: Only a few acknowledged that the father’s story of return, redemption and liberation was also a story of conquest, displacement, oppression and death. Yaron Ezrahi ,  Rubber Bullets, Power and Conscience in Modern Israel, 1996 I would say there is probably a mistranslation. Instead of ‘Only a few’ I think the author meant ‘Only few’. Related – from my radio show archive Occupied Minds - A Journey through the Israeli Psyche (Pluto Books, 2006). An interview with Arthur Neslen The impracticality of a two-state solution. Overcoming Zionism: an interview with Joel Kovel The Colonial Drama of Israel-Palestine The Myths of Zionism – an interview with John Rose in 2008
Syria? ...It is so much, so many  
tombs, so much martyrdom, so much  
galloping of beasts in the stars!  
Nothing, not even victory  
will erase the terrible hollow of the blood:  nothing, neither the sea nor the passage  
of sand and time, nor the geranium flaming  
upon the grave. — Pablo Neruda, 1937
