In my view the European culture carries a very heavy responsibility for the creation of Israel... it is a product of both British and Stalin's anti- Semitism, but the British never faced their own complicity in its construction.

Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist.

I wish I could write lyrical poems, but I just write the way they come.

I think attacks on civilians in fact boost morale.

All I do is read books, really. I worry about that sometimes. I don't seem to have a hobby or anything.

I think protest and actions have to be organised against the Israelis and their backers. There needs to be a concerted high profile campaign to raise awareness of the people in this country.

I am not very moved by historical apologies.
