If you were to do the world championship of victimhood in modern times, then the finals would probably be between Jews and Palestinians. I think the Jews win: we, Isralians, go from the Spanish Inquisition to pogroms to the fake Protocols of the Elders of Zion to World War II and the Holocaust - it's a horrible history. And if you look at the Palestinian world, victimized by every entity in the Middle East, they were massacred in every country. I think that, in Israel, the greatest fear that people have, and I have it, too, is this fear of genocide.

Life is one heck of an invention. It is better than the iPhone 4S and Coke Zero combined.

Often in writing programs, articulation and clarity are more important than what you actually say.

When my books were translated, it was always about the characters, because the unique language aspect was lost in translation.

During the war, there were people wishing me death, wishing my son death, wishing my wife death in very graphic ways. In the past, I would go overseas and I would say, "Israel is like my family: we disagree, but we're all brothers." I can't say that anymore, because life proves me wrong.

I think that before my son was born, I didn't have a strong sensation for future. I was living in this kind of never-ending present.
