If people are pro-Israel, they are pro-Israel one-hundred-and-twenty percent. If they are anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian, they tend to be pro-Palestinian one-hundred-and-twenty percent.
Amos OzThe gift of literature is that, in some lucky cases, reading a novel or a story makes the reader more curious, more open-minded.
Amos OzMy musical instrument is Hebrew and, to me, this is the most important fact about my writing.
Amos OzThe 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.
Amos Oz
