On the other hand, we have in Israel, an Israeli government which has been elected by the Israeli people. Their political agenda is not for peace. They are from the camp anti-peace. ↗

But The Same Sea is set precisely in this Israel, which never makes it to the news headlines anywhere. It is a novel about everyday people far removed from fundamentalism, fanaticism nationalism, or militancy of any sort. ↗

Israel has its attractions. It's the most dramatic country in the world. Everybody's engaged. Everybody argues. When I leave Israel, I get a little bit bored, you know? ↗

The state of Israel must, from time to time, prove clearly that it is strong, and able and willing to use force, in a devastating and highly effective way. If it does not prove this, it will be swallowed up, and perhaps wiped off the face of the earth. ↗

Warum ist das eigentlich immer so?: Je mehr Geld die Kriegstreiber in den Nahen Osten pum-pen, desto weniger erhalten Organisationen, die etwas aufbauen wollen? Welche merkwürdige Art von Boykott! Mit dem Geld, das für einen einzigen Apache-Kampfhubschrauber ausge-geben wird, könnte unser Projekt für mehr als 1.500 Jahre finanziert werden, oder achtzig sol-che Projekte für 20 Jahre.. Das wären dann nach 20 Jahren 10.000 Jugendliche, die für ein Jahr in einer gemeinsamen Wohnung wohnten und mit Hunderttausenden Theater und andere Gemeindearbeit machten. Ein einziger Apache-Kampfhubschrauber! ↗
