The Old Testament is full of poetry, prophecies, chronicles, documentations, storytelling, fairytales.
Amos OzOn my parents scale of values, the more Western something was, the more cultured it was considered.
Amos OzIt is wrong to take an 18-year-old boy or girl and arm them with machine guns and make them the almighty king of some little Arab village. No young man, and no old man either, should have so much power over the life and death of so many helpless individuals. It is corrupting. It sometimes provokes desperate, savage and indiscriminate violence among the occupied.
